Actions & Comments
One large, elongated area of kelp containing numerous pieces 6" in diameter or so of hard, almost cement like material. Compressed barnacle mass? Seems that that would be recognizable. I'd never seen this type of material in beach debris.

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.

A pleasant day on the beach at very low tide which exposed one large tidal pool which hadn't seen before.

We usually access the beach via an entry at Surfland which hasn't been easy in the past.
