The chain link fence is now beginning to fall down on the ocean side. Rock showing on lower portion of beach above low tide line, but above good sand infill. Some small areas of beach erosion. Even though low tide, surf was still too high to get on some parts of the beach.Some gulls and crows. Otherwise, nothing going on. The bridge has been removed to the lighthouse. The lighthouse looks spiffey, but can't go see it up close. Found only one thing that is probably tsunami debris, an odd-shaped light bulb with barnacles on it.
