Northern Goldenrod
Solidago multiradiata
I am fairly confident that this identification is correct, though I am not absolutely positive. The resources I have looked at do not indicate that S. multiradiata is found on sandy shorelines.
Location: Sealion Cove, Kruzof Island, Southeast Alaska
Previous: Nagoonberries (Rubus arcticus)
Next: Common Harebell (Campanula rotundifolia)
