Report Details
It was a beautiful day for a stroll on our lovely Mile 46, overlooking the Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve. It was cool outside, however the sun was shining brightly, keeping us warm.Lacking much debris, this beach had one large block of styrofoam (from a dock, perhaps) and a few small pieces of plastic, but mostly just driftwood and some sea kelp. It did not appear that there had been any new slumping or erosion on this hike, and the waterfall was flowing nicely today.Gorgeous walk!

It is AMAZING the amount of sand that has been removed (naturally) by scouring.
