Quiet day on the beach compared to Memorial Day Monday. The people count for the holiday was perhaps 50-60 people, today (6/2) it was back to normal. Gasoline prices may have something to do with this. The tide was receding, surf was gentle, the breakers hardly noticeable. At low tides there have been quite a few clammers working the sand, but that was not the case at the time of this observation.
