Freshwater Beach is a dangerous, steep beach with many drownings. It is NOT a good place to invite kids to get close to the water to “learn to fish”.
This event should be moved to Gold Bluffs or Crescent Beach up in CC. If it has to be at Freshwater Beach (Orick), do it in the lagoon, please.
you must have missed the “surf perch” part of the release. surf perch like the steep and deep troughs that primarily exist between agate beach and redwood creek. most of the drownings on this stretch are people that go in after their dog. people shouldn’t bring their dogs to this beach.
