Additional Information
Area was the cleanest I have ever seen it. Granted, the waves at this location have been high for what seems like a long time. Much of the beach was eroded away with a high wall of sand where the waves had cut into the beach.
Comments and Feedback
I'm hoping to reach 2017 goal with dives on the 23rd and 24th.
