Mostly bottle caps and cigarette butts along the high tide line. Two bags before the rain started.

Found a tangle of fishing line wrapped around driftwood. Cut it up and bagged it so birds can't get caught.

Busy weekend left a lot behind: cans, food wrappers, a single flip-flop. Looks much better now.

Storm washed up a lot of foam pieces near the rocks. Got most of it with a sieve.

Broken glass near the path, so watch your step. Cleared what we could find.

Plastic bags caught in the dune grass. Took a while to untangle them without damaging the plants.

Water bottles, a deflated beach ball, and about a hundred bread tags. Where do they all come from?

Low tide showed a line of bottle caps we would have missed. Filled a whole jar with them.

Microplastics along the wrack line again. Slow work with a sieve, but the sand looks right now.

Two of us, two bags, forty minutes. The far end near the pier was the worst of it.

Wet wipes and cotton buds near the outfall after the rain. Gloves were a must today.
