Likewise, unattended camps are susceptible to theft. Bring only what you will use on your trip to a trailhead. The coastal wilderness hosts its share of environmental hazards. Fill out a backcountry permit for overnight camping but also leave word with a responsible party of your intended route and estimated time of return. Current tide tables are posted at trailheads.
Copies are available at coastal ranger stations.
Do not round significant headlands on incoming tides. An average high tide will cover most of the beach, making hiking in some areas impossible. Do not camp below the point of high tide on any given day. Weather is unpredictable along the coast. Storm fronts are usually identified a few days in advance.
