A throwback to a couple years ago.
Report Details
A throwback to a couple years ago...the black sand is back along with some previously exposed remains of plastic rope and an assumed crab ring buried deep in the sand. Very clean beach, probably the result of the King tide clearing out whatever was present. Found just a small amount or plastic stuff but not a single plastic bottle...that doesn’t happen very often! Thanks to the two Kings...Tide and M.L.K.

I love to see tourist families come down and enjoy the beach, but some use the beach as a party house and just leave a mess behind.

Surprised by huge quantity of kelp and lots of fishing industry garbage.
