Report Details

In general, a nice day at the beach. There weren't many people out. Surprisingly little man-made debris along the wrack. The most obvious change since the new year is the beach erosion and erosion of the foredune by the January King Tides and storm surge. There are many, many large logs washed over the face of the foredunes and pushed up 50 yards in places.
