The Sea reclaims...
Once this beach was lined with over a dozen Oil Piers and the Ellwood Oil Field powered industry. Production peaked in 1930. Now the only Oil being pumped is from offshore platforms. Today there are only a few wood and rusted steel remains of those old Piers. Slowly nature reclaims the beach.
I just love old pilings and weathered wood!
