It was a full 55 gal drum of Sea Urchin remains, also know as Uni, outside one of the restaurants.

Wow, Ken, one of my favorite places. When my dad was a CDBP Ranger at MacKerricher Beach I was in 6th. grade in Fort Bragg. He took me out of the
sight of land in a 12' skiff out of Noyo on a flat day. He had a pocket compass in case of fog!
I have a LOT of detailed pictures of Monterey Clipper double-enders in an archive. (I used to be into building model boats) There were some classics
out of Noyo.
Here's another regional classic.

Ken,
One of my Mom's favorite places when she visited us in Sacramento, besides Monterey/Carmel/17 mile Dr., Yosemite, wine country, Tahoe, San Francisco,
Bodega Bay, Sequoias, redwoods, and I forgot some, no doubt. Anything north of LA is a delight.

Thanks Cypress and Vag.
I just recently got wind of MacKerricher Beach State Park and the "glass beach", next time through I'm staying and shooting that beach.
The beach back in the early fifties was used as a dump, it was eventually stopped, but what is left is tumbled glass and is quite a sight.

I remember helping with fishing smelt on that beach. I later had my own net like this one! It was a pretty good life living in State Parks.
