A beautiful morning for a walk on this mile!
Report Details
A beautiful morning for a walk on this mile! Low tide allowed for lots of rock-hounding and watching the shore birds looking for food in the surf. Nothing remarkable, just a lovely day with light wind. I was able to pick up a few things on the high-tide line to get off the beach, lots of small pieces of styrophofoam.
Conditions
Temperature: 52 F. Cloud Cover: Sunny. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Wind Direction: N. Tide Level: -0.8 feet.
Activities
Number of people: 8. Number of dogs: 4. Walking or running: 2. Photography: 1.
Other Activities: 1 with a fat-tire beach bike. Everyone appeared to be enjoying the sunny morning with calm wind and the low tide providing lots of hard sand to walk..
Notable Wildlife
The only birds I observed are these Curlew types (I think that's what they could be...I am not a birder!)
Wrackline Content
Small rocks, Shells.
New Development
Steps down bluff. Someone constructed a newly installed wooden stairway secured by support beams wedged into the rip-rap revetment. Likely will succumb to the ocean during an exceptionally high tide or king tides next year.
Man-made Modifications
New riprap or shoreline protection structures. New rip-rapping will occur soon for another 400 feet or so, an excavator is staged nearby on a temporary access made with pit run. The properties are posted pursuant to the OPRD permitting requirements.
Shore birds. White legs, light belly, brown & grey spotted body.

Beginning of armoring project for about 400 feet of shoreline.

Beautiful morning for a mile walk! Nothing of any note-- I included a few pics of the revetment project going on just north of my mile that is ongoing.

A beautiful day to be out on the beach, so why not report a mile or so?

Beautiful morning for a mile walk! If all of the revetment projects in process proceed with OPRD's approval there could be a total of 18 properties with construction/riprap taking place by June.
