Report Details

Walking from the jetty towards the state park we encountered about 20 people on the beach, enjoying the sun and about 14 playing in the water, and about five dogs running about.Close to the jetty we found many tiny bits and pieces of plastic but generally, the beach was very clean. At the waterline were pebbles and broken shells. We noticed new growth of beach grass on the base of the sanddunes. Other than that there was little change since our last walk.
