Accident Overview
A pilot was conducting a takeoff from a sloping beach in a tailwheel-equipped airplane. According to the pilot, the tide had risen, reducing the width of the available takeoff path. During the takeoff roll, the airplane's right main landing gear tire contacted an object on the beach. This caused the airplane to pivot to the left, and the left wing subsequently struck a group of alder trees. The airplane then ground looped, resulting in substantial damage to the right wing and horizontal stabilizer.

Damage
