towel
This site - plastics- mostly bottles - beach-goers do not ensure that trash is put in receptacle, and the management of dumpster pick-up adds to this
fishing line - many shore fishermen fish over rocks- breaking/losing line
plastic bags - they are carried on the winds and end up in the water from multiple points
