Actions & Comments
This is my initial observation of CoastWatch Mile 223. The attached photos show baseline erosion of toe-slope south of Beverly Beach State Park, below and/or adjacent to Highway 101. It is assumed that ODOT is following this erosion near the highway, therefore no action has been taken by me.

Probably less people on the beach than a usual low tide mid-Feb afternoon, due to cold, overcast, windy conditions, plus it was the Super Bowl.
