Report Details
The beach was very clean, at the tideline we noticed crab molts, crab shells, small rocks and just natural debris. Near the jetty in the dunes was a huge broken tree trunk that had been cut in several places but the cuts did not look new. Also on the jetty where sand had piled up beach peas were in abundance. Since the jetty rocks were still exposed after the low tide we had walked along the rocks and saw many sea anemones.
