Report Details

It's always a great day to be on the beach, but this morning was especially nice for February. There were some logs that appear to have washed up onto the riprap, but the beach looked much like it did the last time I reported and without a lot of damage from winter storms. The riprap being repaired was part of the original riprap installed 10 years ago.What a difference a weekend makes! Today (2/7/10) we walked the same stretch at the same time and counted 20 people walking the beach and playing in the sand and 8 dogs with them.
