"Trash can sometimes
accumulate along the shoreline—more than just seaweed, you might find bottles,
paper, and other household waste. The sandy entrance is easy to navigate, and
while the water can be murky with seaweed during high tide, it clears up at low
tide, which is when everyone enjoys swimming."
