A great day along Mile 235 on the Oregon Coast, especially for rock and shell hunters taking advantage of low tide.

New Years Day was beautiful, the beach was clean for the most part because waves have been reaching man-made riprap walls installed at the base of the cliffs from Gleneden Beach State Park south to just south of Sea and Sand RV Park.
