By Sunday, there was no smell of oil and the sand looked largely clear by the Huntington Beach pier, where workers combed the sand for tar. People play beach volleyball as workers in protective suits clean the contaminated beach in Corona Del Mar after an oil spill in Newport Beach, Calif., on Thursday, Oct. 7. The Coast Guard is investigating whether a ship anchor snagged and bent the pipeline off Huntington Beach. Rich Toro, 70, still took his regular 40-kilometre bike ride down to Huntington Beach on Sunday. Since the spill, officials have reported 38 dead birds and nine dead fish, while 27 oiled birds have been recovered and are being treated.
