Kamilo Beach is now nicknamed Trash Beach because of the extreme amount of trash the ends up on the beach. Several tons of trash are removed every year by volunteers yet the trash is still more apparent than sand. Visit the website to view drone footage of the beach, the driving conditions to access the beach, and photos of what we say there.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch covers an area of about 2000nm wide and 1000nm tall ranging from about 500nm West of the Northern California Coast to a few hundred nm East of Japan.  The largest concentrations of debris are in the Eastern boundary, just off California, and the Western boundary, just South East of Japan. 

I could see debris within a few minutes of looking in any direction.   Most of the waste is floating just a few inches under the surface of the water.  It's suspended in this 'floating' state a few inches to a few feet under the surface of the water.  This makes it impossible to see from the air.

Here are a couple photos of my voyage to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch:
