- Visible new rock slide erosion along half of the mile - Young off-leash dog who harassed my dog and would not relent until the nonplussed owner slowly walked over the 70 yards minutes later; the dog was let off leash again to run all around, out of voice command, chasing shorebirds.

Quiet day with light human activity.

Gorgeous, quiet winter afternoon alongside dozens of sea pickles, a moderate rockslide at south end, disconcerting complete absence of birds, and sadly typical two armfuls of marine debris.

I walk this beach most days and it's been unremarkable besides the typical gulls, cyclical ocean deposits, and sporadic walkers.

1) Of historical note is the fallen arch at Schooner Pt November 2022 2) Absent this year thus far are any whale spouts visible from shore. 3) The Moolack Beach access trail from the parking area is heavily overgrown with bushes.

This is my first report in 2020 although I have walked all or part of this mile several times this summer.
