Report Details

Another beautiful day on the south coast with 38 people enjoying exploring the beach at a minus (-1.0 ft.) tide. The beach was relatively clean with kelp and seagrass accumulations in only a few parts of the driftline. The only concerns were people fishing from a very steep and dangerous slope on the south side of a rock at the north end of Mile 7 and a tent set up mid-Mile 7 which appeared to have been there overnight.
