Report Details
Mild day, mostly cloudy with a few scattered showers while I was on the beach. The surf was high, although the wind was not. The rock shelves are beginning to reappear from under the sand -- as always, it's amazing to realize how much sand piles up, once the underlying rocks become visible; some of the drainage structures are visible again after being hidden by sand pile-up. Very sparse wrack, and little debris other than the tiny plastic pieces.

The beach fire close to vegetation, and somewhat close to access point was the main unusual concern to report, otherwise just the usual concern of trash.

Notable highlights: relatively small landslide at the mile's middle parking lot; large piece of shipping debris; large tree debris (unusual to see large natural or unnatural debris at this mile; the usual trash (though as usual, less than seen at miles 223 and 224 to the north); a bald eagle and barn swallows!
