Most people were on the south side of the dune, not in my mile. Two hang gliders and 3 vehicles with helpers/onlookers with them on north side. A few people walking the beach, two with dogs. A couple kids playing in the waves. Very wide beach on this minus tide with a wrack line very high, way up the dune. High tide had been just after midnight at 9', low tide just before 9 a.m. at -1 so a 10 ft difference that really leveled out the beach. Some fog early that cleared.

Lovely day on the beach with only two cars stuck in the sand, one of which was able to drive out unaided after a bit of effort.
