9 REPORTS FOR MILE 311: HistoryLover Mar 28, 2013 12:00 PM   The beach was relatively clean with no problems.   MORE  HistoryLover Jul 31, 2012 12:00 AM   This beach is healthy and was almost completely trash-free. There are no present concerns about this lightly-used mile of the Oregon coast.   MORE  HistoryLover Jun 27, 2012 12:00 PM   Beach looks relatively clear of litter and healthy at this time.   MORE  HistoryLover Mar 24, 2012 12:00 PM   Quiet and generally clean. Main concern is an exposed tank that appears to be dripping oil in the dunes adjacent to the beach. From an old homesite.   MORE  Anemone Jun 18, 2009 2:10 PM   There were around 55 people on mile 311. Seventeen of them were cycling. People had come to Tolovana Park Beach in unusually high numbers because of the warm weather, but the beach between Tolovana Park and Arcadia had few visitors and is still practically undiscovered. Many pelicans were flying over the ocean, and we spotted one harbor seal in the surf. There were many Dungeness Crab and sand dollar fragments in the driftline. Mile 311 is pristine and largely litter-free.   MORE  Tom&Gretel Dec 20, 2007 3:00 PM   It was nice to have the beach practically to ourselves. The one dog we encountered was under perfect voice control. There was much less debris than we expected after the Big Storm. We will keep an eye on a lot that was being surveyed ( from the beach), with a small cottage on it. Will check to see whether there is a building permit for new construction, and monitor that ( rip rap, drainage, new walkway etc.)   MORE  Tom&Gretel Sep 19, 2007 11:00 AM   all in all a pleasant day. Lots of sand washed up and built up all over. Very clean beach, as this was just several days after the SOLV cleanup. Wish it remained that way. Evidence of beachfires in large driftwood piles, but none smoldering.   MORE    landscaped beach    Description: natural vegetation has been mowed down, some of it has been 'shaped', and a hedge planted. Location: halfway on our mile rip rap gone bad    Description: last year's attempt on placing rip rap looking even worse this year Location: at start of our mile Tom&Gretel Jul 5, 2007 10:39 AM   actually, quite an improvement over previous 'day after the 4th.' the fireworks ban seems to be working, and the violations are more sporadic every year. Still lots of fireworks debris.   MORE  Tom&Gretel Mar 8, 2007 9:00 AM   Will need to take a photo of a riprap structure gone bad. Ocean washed out sand placed between riprap, and some kind of netting to hold plants. Very ugly to look at. Will get address and photos.   MORE
