- 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.

Schooner Pt, Moolack Beach S of Moolack Creek
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.
