The north end of the mile 307 beach had jelly fish covering much of the sand. I looked at the beach again on Sept.

The wrack line contained small (2-4") crab casings, clam shells and broken sand dollars. There was a small land slide near a house drain line - see picture. The sand level was low on the north end of mile 307 which leaves the rocks uncovered.
