Report Details

Beautiful,clean beach this pre-Thanksgiving week. Someone had already gathered 6 plastic bottles and set them by an access trail...and that was the bulk of debris to pick up. A smattering of diatoms at the high tide line, a few seagulls and crows looking for lunch...just the way you want to find your mile.
