I saw lots of tiny pieces of jellyfish broken up by wave action. Steam was coming from the sand. Sand level was higher than on my last visit.

Lots of rain in the last 4 days has caused erosion of the vegetated dune on the path and steps down to the beach.

Recent king tides have deposited logs and the waves reached the eastern limit of the beach.
