Additional Information
Most of it was the usual stuff other than the huge plastic sheet. The typhoon revealed many rocky areas I had never seen before...shifting sands to cover this, but uncover that. That was a large beach umbrella embedded in sand that had been partially uncovered, but I was unable to remove it.
Huge plastic sheeting

old fishing nets and ropes
Comments and Feedback
As i exited the water there was a group of people in purple vests wondering around the beach. As i discovered later, they are volunteers for a Marine Debris monitoring agency! I was VERY happy to see others on that beach taking care of the environment!
