Mile 293 - Rockaway Beach, State Wayside - March 7, 2016 | Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition

Report Details

This is the way you like to find your mile...very clean beach, and lots of people, dogs, and birds enjoying it. Picked up some assorted pieces of plastic and styrofoam and two bottles...but not nearly as much as expected. Not much in the way of rocks or shells either, but lots and lots of driftwood everywhere.

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.
