Erosion has abated on Mile 290 since that which occurred during the winter. The northern and central sections of Camp Magruder have sustained the highest loss of bluffs and trees. The southern beachfront of Magruder and the adjacent beach down to Barview Jetty do not appear to have experienced any erosion comparable to the sections to the...read more
It was great to see so may people enjoying the beach. Parking is limited with most of the jetty parking lot blocked due to the Sough Jetty repair work. Lots of driftwood has accumulated. Very little trash of any kind. My guess is that I have others picking up trash on a regular...read more

This was my 1st time back on my mile since February. Lack of trash was surprising to me(see the photo of what I picked up) Driftwood on the shore was minimal. We have had a lot of windy days with abundant sand movement which may have buried trash and driftwood. I...read more

It was one of those rare sunny and almost calm winter days. Erosion has been less severe than last year. Overtopping brought more drftwood and sand inland than I have observed in the last 5 years.
Where oh where are all the pcs of yellow rope coming from? read more
