Mile 183 Report
North end of Roosevelt Beach, Rock Creek, Rocky Knoll
March 11, 2022
25 people, the most I've seen on the beaches yet.
Report Details
25 people, the most I've seen on the beaches yet. Beautiful sunny day. In December 2021, I reported landslides and erosion. Today they look stable, no new movement noticed. Fascinating funnel shaped root on ocean picnic beach, photograph to follow. Big Creek and Rocky Creek both had a good amount of water flowing. Nancy Creek waterfall also had a nice stream of water. Noticed a type of limpet I am not familiar with. Average size limpet with unfamiliar markings. Tried running photograph of limpets through iNaturalist, but unsuccessful (haven't heard back about an ID).I also saw large thatched acorn barnacles that I have not seen before due to the tide level. More gravel and rock is appearing on the beach at Rock Creek. Overall a beautiful quiet day with many people enjoying these two beaches.
