December 12, 2013
I don't know where the loose tires floated in from.
Report Details
I don't know where the loose tires floated in from. They have English writing on them. The beach is remote and removal of the tires would require some work. The other site, where junk cars were left back in the 30's, and the cliff has collapsed over the years, this junk has been surfacing for years, various car parts.
