Mile 307

Cove Beach north, Arch Cape, Arch Cape Creek

March 14, 2024

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.
