Report Details

Once again the dogs and I were the only visitors to this stretch of beach a half mile north of the Coquille River and its lighthouse. Wildlife was not abundant: a few gulls at water's edge, seabirds flying offshore and swallows flitting about the foredune. Scarcely any litter, and not as much interesting sand mounding from the fierce northerly winds that have plagued us for days on end. Small stones and shell fragments occupied the high line.

Rock hunters delight in this otherwise boring stretch of beach; 3 were mining away in a big bed of small stones despite heavy fog and their 4 at-large dogs.
