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.
