Report Details
Busy summer day with over 100 people on a very clean beach, little garbage. Warned some kids about climbing and carving on the bluff at Roads End State Park, pointed out the posted danger signs. They moved on but when I came back around, they were right back at it. Couldn't determine who their parents were. Saw a couple young men climbing the loose scree portion of The Point at the north end. Tried to warn them but only got flipped off. And so it goes.......

After king tides and heavy surf, most of the usual driftwood was up nearer the bank along with minimal bull kelp.

Just wanted to say there have been a lot of brown pelicans this season, more than I've ever seen, and I'm wondering if they will stay for the winter?
