Most of the beach looked normal.
Report Details
Most of the beach looked normal. The only change I saw was dark streaks on the sand at the south end of mile 307. There were streaks and dark areas over an area about 100 yards long north to south and up to 40 feet wide east to west. The stains were in the sand to a depth between 1/4 to 1/2 inch in depth. I guess that the stains were from an oil spill.

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.
