Mile 103 - Bullards Beach just north of the Lighthouse - June 8, 2013

Report Details

There isn't much to report on this stretch of beach, unlike the last person who walked it and collected scads of plastic bottles. Blowing sand may be obscuring some litter in the storm line but not the overnight tide line, which was mostly clean. Just a few gulls in sight. Lots of small rocks, shell fragments, sea grass and bull kelp marked this foggy, windy morning. Tide was in the minus range. A couple with dogs and a rock hunter were the only other people out. Two cars and one RV were parked on the access road to the lighthouse.

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.
