Mile 246 Report
Cliffs north of Roads End Beach
July 25, 2020
This is such a beautiful mile, the series of hidden beaches beyond the first headland never seem to get added to the reports so I wanted to help out.
Report Details
This is such a beautiful mile, the series of hidden beaches beyond the first headland never seem to get added to the reports so I wanted to help out. I noted there were agates present on the shoreline! There is a set of sea caves full of tide pool life and each had some marine debris inside. I also noted some of the islands had large amounts of Brandt's Cormorants and on the last beach I saw small deer hoof prints in the sand. With binoculars I was able to see 3 deer up the ravine. A smaller 4 point buck, a larger 6 point buck, and a young doe grazing.
Conditions
Temperature: 60 F. Cloud Cover: Sunny. Wind Velocity: Moderate. Wind Direction: E. Tide Level: -1.3 feet.
Human Activities
Lots of people exploring the cliffs and beaches north of Roads End. These reports don’t go beyond the first headland. I hiked the entire mile all the way beyond the bottom of Gods Thumb. There was no one beyond the first hidden beach.

Fairly clear, warm day on the mile with a larger than typical number of people spending time on it.

Very low tide level and accumulated sand allowed many people to walk around cliffs to cove below God's Thumb.

Human activity was benign, just folks generally enjoying the area.
