Mile 207
Seal Rock Wayside north, Seal Rocks, Deer Creek
You never know who you'll meet at this mile! Today was a first for me - three River Otters were making their way with the incoming tide among the large rocks along the shore. It was a quiet day at mile 207 otherwise. One big change in the topography is the dramatic sand movement since my last visit 7/14/26.

Today was one of the two lowest tides of 2026, a great day to see this rocky beach and all its tidepools.

A quiet Sunday at the Curtis St. One strange note is the smell.

I've visited this "mile" of beach many times over the years but this is my first regular Coastwatch report.
