DOWN on the BEACH

Exploring the beach at Wildwood State park....

Walk from the parking lot is down a steep concrete road older than me, trust me that is old.

The concrete must have been made well because it still is all original.

Many rocks and boulders strewn along the beach. dropped off from a glacier when it retreated thousands of years ago.
Some as big as garages ...

Cliff / Bluff erosion ...

The 767 acre park must have a 2 mile long beach. A great place to be alone with nature in a crowded suburban area.

Tide was low and still going down. Flat rock puddle shows how high the water was.

Large boulder on face of bluff that will eventually roll to the beach from erosion ... Don't know when but it will happen ...

There is a break in the bluff where it ends. A small pond with a stream connects to the sea...
