Mostly scattered rocks with a few seashells here and there. Multiple small landslides mostly containing rocks and dirt, with the exception of one within a waterfall that has tree debris. On the beach side looking up at the parking lot, the bottom of the fence posts are pushing out of the bottom of the bluffs and are exposed. Foliage appears to be holding them in place.
