Report Details
Recent storms and high surf have removed a lot of sand from the beach, especially the southern end of mile 210. This has exposed a lot of rock and pebbles. Consequently, we have been seeing a lot of "rock pickers" looking for agates, etc on the beach. All friendly, by the way.

We have noticed that during the winter storms the sand on the beach moves (presumably offshore) and then is redeposited during spring.
