Styrofoam. Those foam flotation "noodles". A hairpiece ("wig"?) A dilapidated fishing net. Couple of beach balls. Partially-filled plastic water bottles. A couple of things I can't mention here. What appeared to be a beach lounge chair. Lots of other stuff. It was eye-opening to say the least. According to a local I talked to the display changes regularly as new items wash up and old ones are disposed of.
Bags are negligible compared to the huge amounts of detritus tossed into the ocean down there.
