Mile 293 Report
Rockaway Beach, State Wayside
May 21, 2019
Beach continues to be very clean.
Report Details
Beach continues to be very clean...no bottles, no cans, no styrofoam!!! Found only 10 or 12 items of plastic, an empty sand bag, and about 10 feet of crab ring rope that I was able to untangle from sticks ,branches, and dried seaweed. It’s likely to be a different story after the summer crowds arrive.

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.
