Actions & Comments
Warmest day that I have spent on the beach. The busiest that I have seen on the beach with 45 people and 7 dogs doing a variety of activities.I did talk with husband and wife that had just started to fish in the Marine Reserve about the fishing restrictions and they should check with ODFW concerning the appropriate places where they can legally fish. The couple was very pleasant and stopped fishing immediately when they found out it was a marine reserve.
