Ellwood Beach Beam

By Emma Godinez

I took the below picture near sand beach & Elwood beach.  Normally one can see 4 ft of the beam (me pictured w/abalone shell in hand).  My height is 5’01” in comparison to the beam.

In my hand (above) is the largest Abalone shell I have ever come across.  I run everyday on the beach and normally only see the size pictured above.
