Mile 288 - Bayocean Peninsula, Kincheloe Point - November 27, 2004

Report Details

Beach seemed very clean, with only a little ocean debris in the high tide area. Saw few birds including several adult and juvenile Western gulls and small flocks (10-50) of sandpipers flying by.Weather was partly sunny, but windy with observations made near low tide. Little on beach except small stones.

Conditions

Cloud Cover: Sunny. Wind Velocity: Moderate. Wind Direction: NW.

Human Activities

There were 12 cars, vans, SUV's in the parking lot when I arrived, but there were no people on the beach once I got there. Saw some people walking along the gated county road that borders Tillamook Bay, mostly with dogs. This leads to speculation that many people come here to exercise their dogs, with many going for walks along the bay rather than along the ocean beach.

Vehicles

Cars/trucks parking: 12.

It was an incredibly busy day for Mile 288 the day before the snowy plover nesting season began! I was glad to see DOGAMI and OPRD on-site, and appreciated OPRD's willingness to haul the debris I collected back to their dumpsters. It was also exciting to see so many plovers in the wet sand.
