Report Details
Nice to see a few folks out enjoying this gorgeous day! 6 people and 1 dog. Lots of small rocks in the north section of 220, LOTS of sand in the southern end. Able to go through the southern end "cave" to check on the beach on the other side due to the low tide. Saw about 5 star fish. Wonderful to see all the sea birds nesting in the cliffs on the southern end of 220, they are BUSY!! The continuous slide/crash of the bluffs continues onto the beach, including vegetation from the top of the bluffs.
