Mile 214 - South Beach SP, South Jetty Yaquina River - July 4, 2022

Report Details

A wonderful afternoon at the beach.More people and dogs than I have experienced before, but all seemed to be pleasant and NOT one candy wrapper or other sign of a large amount of people, other than footprints. Sharp dune edges almost non existant. Most logs from the winter months seem to be buried in the sand.A sand bar seems to be developing along the mile with a "river of water' in between.No beached birds or marine mammals found.
