Report Details
Just a perfect day with lot's of people enjoying it. Found very few items of litter, a couple of cans & bottles and several pieces of plastic all easily removed...not so much for a hunk of rope buried in the sand, as I had to cut off what I could reach. A few new logs found their way to the beach, and the winter tides have removed sand in some places, while adding it in others... a fair trade
