Actions & Comments

This area is south of South Beach State Park and includes the residential area north of 62nd St & south to Henderson Creek. Overall a clean beach but lots of wood/driftwood in driftline especially around Henderson Creek. There were some suds coming down to the shore from a "streamlet". Recycled sea foam or human water usage?

Sunny day except in an area of the Southshore neighborhood, where fog kept it cool.

This time I concentrated on the area south of Henderson Creek where there is more activity. Photo submitted, & will be the last one. Beach was quite clean and probably because of the beach clean-up activities the previous Saturday.
