There was a minus tide at 6:30 in the morning though the end of south beach where tide pools are usually accessible was not and seems to be more of a bay. The ancient forest is prominent, an indication of the large amount of sand that has migrated from this beach. Neskowin Creek has more exposed rocks on its south side. The beach was relatively clean with very little plastic and mostly plant material in the wrack.
