Mile 119 Report
Shore Acres SP, Simpson Cove

Nine harbor seals observed on rocks at north part of mile.
Report Details
Nine harbor seals observed on rocks at north part of mile. Two hawks and 12 seagulls. I could hear sea lions making barking noises from Shell island (a quarter mile off shore to the southwest) as the sound was carried by the wind.A moderately cool summer day at the coast while temperatures soar to near 100 fifty miles inland from Portland to Medford. A gentle breeze, the softly lapping ocean and natural air conditioning make this a magical place to visit. 16 people, walking and taking pictures, and 1 dog. Removed some litter from the trail.

The hike along the northern coastal part of Shore Acres State Park is quite beautiful, with more coastal vistas and fewer visitors than the southern part.

North Cove closed to visitors for the pupping season, so all observations were made from the cliffs.
