Report Details
This windswept section of beach is generally kept clean of logs, kelp, and man-made debris. Razor clam shells in the driftline. Usually, broken shells sighted are everything but Razor clam shells. Maybe the winter storms do wreak havoc with the clam bed by the N. Spit every year, as the story goes. No people on the beach. Fewer birds than normal; however, some sandpipers were seen.
