Report Details
A beautiful spring day with 6 mph wind coming from NNE. I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of litter. This beach has always had an abundance of it, but today it was nowhere to be seen. I'm speculating it was because of the time of year and conditions. The tide waters litterally reach to the base of the cliffs, leaving no place for it to collect. The downside, though, is that is probably also responsible for the unusually high level of erosion and land slides all along the bluffs.
