"This is along the bluff above the beach houses at Summerland on South Camano. This slide is relatively new as we had not seen it before on our visits to the beach. The road is behind the beach houses between the bluff and the houses. The slide did make it across the road and someone had to clear it. Just glad I don't have a house down there or up on the bluff. There are houses on the beach and the bluff. We will continue to check on it over the upcoming weeks. This is a private HOA and beach."
