Report Details
On an extraordinarily low-tide day, there were more people (23) than usual on Mile 100, but all seemed well-behaved and to be enjoying themselves despite the cold wind. Most of them were adults walking, with a few children and their parents checking out tide pools. There were also nine horseback riders. Eight cars were in the parking area when we arrived. There was one dead sea lion--probably the same one that's been there for several weeks because it was roughly in the same place--and a couple of dead gulls. The north wind had swept the beach pretty clean. Even though the low-tide was exceptional, we saw nothing unusual. Shells, animal casings, small rocks and wood pieces in driftline.
