Actions & Comments

Area on either side of what I call the "Titanic" because it is such a large structure, built so strongly and shaped like the bow a a ship at the bottom of the steps, has quite a bit of slide. This is the only area where there is visible rock above the low tide line exposed on the beach. All other areas of the beach have a good amount of sand infill.
