Event comments
DRIFTWOOD TREES, WITH THEIR BONES BLEACHED, SMOOTHED, AND BATTERED BY SUN, SAN AND WIND PROVIDE THE "BONES" ON BONEYARD BEACH. THESE TREES, WHILE NO LONGER STANDING, PROTECT THE REMAINING WOODS AND UPLANDS BY DISPERSING AND BREAKING UP WIND AND WAVE ENERGY AND SLOWING FURTHER EROSION. THE UNIQUE SPODOSOL FORMATIONS OF BLACK ROCK BEACH ARE ACTUALLY SOFT AND FORMED FROM SOIL, CREATING INTERESTING SCENES AND MIMICKING VOLCANIC ROCKS IN THEIR DARK COLOR AND ERODED CONTOURS. TIDEPOOLS FORMED BY EDDIES CONCENTRATE TINY MARINE LIFE FOR THE WILDLIFE ENTHUSIAST.
