Mile 210 Report
Lost Creek Wayside south, Lost Creek
November 11, 2025
The sand has been moving off the beach exposing many small rocks.
Report Details
The sand has been moving off the beach exposing many small rocks. There was not much vertebrate wildlife to report but the wrack line was covered with large drifts of hydroids. There was one area, close to the southern border of Mile 210, where boulders had sluffed off the cliff (see photo and end of report.)
Conditions
Temperature: 50 F. Cloud Cover: Cloudy. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Tide Level: 6.5 feet.
Human Activities
Number of people: 1. Walking or running: 1.
Notable Wildlife
There were about 2 dozen Western Gulls in small groups flying low over the beach and water. I heard 1 White-crowned Sparrow in the bluff above the beach. The wrack line was packed with large drifts of hydroids (Cnidarian creatures closely related to anemones and jellies.) I will post photos at the end of this report.
Driftline Content
Masses of hydroids were spread all along the drift line of Mile 210, and continued in both directions.
Natural Changes
Landslides/major boulder falls.

The ocean was choppy and foamy, although the wind was fairly calm.

I reported that the weather was partly cloudy: large Cumulus clouds but additionally there was some light rain. The only live wildlife we saw were birds: Whimbrels, Crows, Western Gulls, and one Brown Pelican.

It was a very stormy day but since it was so late in the year we wanted to do a survey while the tide was low, regardless of the weather. There was one place where there was recent erosion of the cliff.
