Mile 177 - Cliffs south of Horse Creek, north of Baker Beach - May 20, 2011

Report Details

Overall, it was a beautiful day. Surprisingly, no human activity. Tide was extremely low, therefore allowing one to witness tide pool's that are normally concealed. Although there were some minor trash items that I removed, the beach was fairly clean. The normal amount of seagulls were present. One young Osprey circling several times. Unfortunately, no sea creatures were witnessed. Some minor sand dune erosion was obvious. No man-made changes.

Mile 177

Cliffs south of Horse Creek, north of Baker Beach

March 29, 2014

This beach is one mile South of my adopted mile, but I decided to do a dispatch report because there is a de-capitated whale's head washed up on the beach, and I thought it should be reported.
