COMMENTSThe cliff carvings from last year are gone and new ones have taken their place. New year, different idiots!
SUMMARYAll in all the beach looks in good shape. There is a small amount of plastic debris and the tire. The carving on the cliff wall is in the same location as last year because there is access to the wall from the base of the cliff only at this point.
