A calendar picture perfect day on the beach!
Report Details
A calendar picture perfect day on the beach! Blue sky, with beautiful white, grey, and black clouds. Many lines of surf, 6 or 7, with lots of fluffy white foam. Two other people walking, enjoying the day. Small and medium wood pieces on beach, some broken shells, very few rocks. No dead birds seen today. Usual winter steep edge to sand is forming at high tide line in two areas; have to walk above it at high tide as it's too high to scramble up to escape a wave of water.
