Mile 187 - Neptune SP, Bob Creek, Gwynn Knoll - January 28, 2018

Report Details

Beautiful day on the beach. Lots of families respectfully exploring the rocks and tidepools. One woman wearing far too much patchouli. I could smell her long before I could see her. There was far less garbage on the beach then I had expected to see, especially for how many people where on the beach, which is always a pleasant surprise.

Most people where exploring along the rocks, only a few were exploring the tide pools at the time I was there.

Wood pieces. There was very little trash spotted along the driftline. Only one straw, a couple small pieces of plastic, and one plastic bag.
