Report Details

Didn't walk the entire mile due to sand being blown into my mouth and eyes. The dry sand shoreline was changing minute by minute with new small rocks and shells being exposed and then covered as I watched.The only things I noticed in the sky (seems that birds were much smarter than most humans) were four military helicopters. The dune I had to climb to access the parking area was so steep, I had to crawl on my hands and knees with the aid of grasping dune grass.Other than that, it was a great day on the beach.No photos today...didn't want sand in my camera.
