Mile 181
Carl G. Washburne SP, Blowout Creek
I noticed 7 cars in the parking area in the Carl Washburne day use location. The high tides were coming all the way up the beach. The beach was clean with no litter observed. The sand was very flat with no sand dunes. The waves were about 3-5 feet I noticed a lack of kelp and seagrass on the beach.

During a minus tide I noticed the sand was soaked with puddles and with wet logs scattered everywhere. There were places where hundreds of Velella jellyfish were observed on the sand.
