Mile 129 - Horsfall Beach on North Spit, directly west of Jordan Cove - February 22, 2010

Report Details

Quiet, clean and private are the best adjectives for Mile 129 today. No trash, no flotsam. The beach in front of the foredune is gently sloped at less than 6 degrees. The tide was out. The inside waves were small and quiet but the outside waves looked quite large. I and my dog only met up with one other human and dog. There was no wildlife, but there were various bird and critter tracks in the dry sand. Quite a bit of driftwood beneath the foredune. One vehicle on allowed beach. One driftwood fort on the dune.
