Erosion at Bowling Ball Beach…what a sight!

Peter Baye wrote, "Here are photos of the big ‘cheese wheel’ disc concretion about midway along Bowling Ball Beach’s erosion-refreshed cliffs. There is always a new view!"

"Plus, a big earthflow dropped a tree and mass of ice plant down to the shore."

"The beach is gone for now, but will probably return with months of gentle swell.” Peter wrote that the concretion disc was one of the largest he has seen, over 12 feet in diameter and only a foot thick. He described it “like a big coin.”

Bowling Ball Beach is a great place to beach comb after a storm.

Thanks to Peter for allowing me to share his photos with you here.

Wild, wet storm yesterday, Sunday. Today the wind is howling! It is to be clear weather for several days ahead.

    Thanks for this! Great photos. We will have to go visit bowling ball soon, one of our local treasures. We were south yesterday at Stump Beach and were wind blown but happy there too! ~C
