Rockaway Beach, State Wayside
February 21, 2025
Pretty clean beach, with the exception of the fireworks campsite.
Report Details
Pretty clean beach, with the exception of the fireworks campsite. I actually did 3 miles, but fireworks at listed mile.
Conditions
Temperature: 45 F. Cloud Cover: Cloudy. Wind Velocity: Moderate. Tide Level: 5 feet.
Human Activities
Number of people: 2. Sitting: 2.
Concerns
Litter
Apparent violations: I picked up only a small of tide line litter, but then found a cold campfire site from the night before with fireworks debris and other litter left behind. Cleaned it up and collected 30cents in redeemables. :).Natural Changes
Interesting to see a very large log I have been observing over the last year has moved about 1.5 miles further south over this time and is now close to the Barview Jetty.

I submitted a report recently on a beach 245 miles to the South, mile 49, the Port beach in Port Orford, where I noticed many jellyfish washed up.

I observed new signs in Rockaway city proper, restricting using the public access to the beach at 1st and 2nd Avenues. Sign reads NO ACCESS: Until further notice, all city owned paths, walkways, stairs, and any other improved or unimproved access ways to recreation areas are closed.

Overall the beach looked pretty good for post king tides and fireworks.
