Report Details
It was a calm, mostly cloudy morning with a streak of blue sky over the ocean. There was a minus tide at 6:30 in the morning though the end of south beach where tide pools are usually accessible was not and seems to be more of a bay. The ancient forest is prominent, an indication of the large amount of sand that has migrated from this beach. Neskowin Creek has more exposed rocks on its south side. The beach was relatively clean with very little plastic and mostly plant material in the wrack.

Stunningly beautiful today ~ yesterday, too - but today the clouds were dancing with one another ~ storm clouds with white puffy and promises of blue sky off and on.

It is almost as though you've entered a magical world that has been untouched by the hurriedness of inland.
