All Mile 179 Reports
Mile 179
Heceta Head Lighthouse, Devils Elbow SP, Cape Creek
We conducted a MDMAP with 10 people and four transects. Exploring the beach we discovered several caves, one of which was quite deep. It was low tide, and we were able to make observations at several tide pools. On the beach we found a skate case, velella velella, and a large dead bird, possibly a cormorant. On the north side of the beach, we discovered an area between the rocks where the waves created a latte of sea foam and occasionally splashed high above as the water churned in the channel. Numerous people and dogs were present during our four-hour visit, and someone observed that most of the license plates in the parking lot were from out of state. Over four hours we counted four dogs and 39 people.
