Thanks for posting!

Who can tell me what's wrong with this pic?

Rough! Is this over a wall or tube?

I don't know what you mean about the first one, but the bottom picture is of what is called the Pro-tec tube system. That system consists of geotubes that are connected and placed in a cascading formation similar in shape to a a right triangle. Then sand is placed on top of the system. There is no "wall" at this location. As you can see the sand has been washed away in this instance.

First picture: there is a sign inthe middle of the beach!

Second picture: I thought that might be the case. What's the analysis?

It's possible that was us. We were in the edge of the surf...not in the water like idiots

. Today was a pretty good day...

Could you tell me what the things are that look like HUGE snails/something like that? Some are big and some small...but they were washing up on the beach today a lot. They look like snails or something...and they swim.

BTW, there were very large jellyfish today! Not so many that there was a problem, but they were as big as my head!

Gotcha on the first one, I thought you were being tricky.

I posted about the second picture in the old Seawall thread. The analysis was that this is the first permit denial and the state has ordered it's removal. Here's the sun article coming out this weekend.

No you weren't IN the surf, but walking in the wash.

Those are sea slugs, they won't hurt or sting you. They may squirt out a gross looking purple substance if you step on them.
