What is the current seaweed situation at Grayton?

It's about a ten foot wide 6 inch deep band of grass. The June grass hasn't started yet.

Sargassum right?

Sargassum right?

Correct.

June grass is what gives the look of slime in the water and when dried on the shore looks like a tennis ball exploded.

I should have specified sargassum in my question.

What is the Sargassum (the brown prickly kind) situation at Grayton?


Not the bright green Cladophora colloquially known as June Grass..

Headed down for the week!

Check the sowal.com beach cams. Check them frequently anyway, when you're away. Ellen

its pretty bad. bring a rake.

With the right seasoning it tastes like chicken

It is great for a seaweed/sand rub - takes dead skin off and makes you feel new. Not kidding.

It is also quite comfy to lay on and the kids have a blast wearing it and throwing it at each other. Harmless unless you get an eye full - make sure they wear sunglasses. There isn't much funnier than a 6-year old seaweed monster dripping with the stuff.

Looks like the blanket of people is more concerning.

Out here, can confirm minimal seaweed. Great beach, frivolity all around. Glad to be here!
