Mile 214 - South Beach SP, South Jetty Yaquina River - June 1, 2022

Report Details

No sanderlings in the surfline along the mile; which seemed very odd to me because there really wasn't a lot of people on the beach other than a normal light day...although there were five people surfing, but seemed strange. 7 gulls, 1 Hawk 8 Grebes.Logs and wood continue to be burried by the sand deposition; making it easier to navigate the beach and look for beached birds (none found). Calm wind, partly cloudy day 57 degrees. Had a friend from my High School days helping me with the survey.

Mile 214

South Beach SP, South Jetty Yaquina River

March 10, 2026

I walked on the SB state park beach from the disabled access platform area to the south jetty. This beach is not my coast watch mile. I entered 4 pm where time of arrival (but not departure) not because that's when i arrived on the beach, I doubt if it was.
