for Clam & Moonstone Beach County Parks Master Plan
includes this info:
• The rock outcrops surrounding the village and the beach are traditional cultural places of ceremonial and spiritual significance to Yurok people and culture.
• The Culture Committee would like to see better management and protection of the village and resources in the Moonstone Beach area. Campers on the beach should not be allowed, trails leading into the village site should be closed, and visitors should be discouraged from climbing on the rock outcrops as these are cultural places.
