Items on the beach overnight

[Jdarg]

Probably not. Stuff exposed to the beach all night shows the wear and tear. I hope you enjoy many sunrises as spectacular as the sunset we saw tonight!

Tonight's sunset was one of the most interesting and beautiful ever!

I think Bdarg took a few, and he is in charge of all things camera, so it may be a few days.

Sunset? Was there a Sunset tonight? I must have not noticed.

You need a vacation.

SJ, when was this photo taken? Either that's mine, or someone else shares my taste in footwear.
I know the horse is dead, but leaving stuff overnight is just so odd to me; it just never occurred to me to be an option, so the fact that people do it seems so strange--anyone know what I mean?
I still need snorkel equipment and would really like one of those little wheeled carts people use to haul their stuff. Will pick up in the Fall, thanks.

Beware of the construction site on Grayton Beach. They have four tents linked together with huge pyramids, and huge holes. I informed the two guys under the tent that it was a violation to leave their crap out and asked them to fill in their holes to prevent injury to a person walking by and because of the Sea Turtle nesting period. They acknowledged that yes, it could be a safety issue. When I left the beach after dark, their crap was still there. Looked like enough crap to fit an army of twenty people.

As I suspected, there is still no signs of the Sheriff or Code Enforcement doing anything. Give me some tags and authority, and I won't mind issuing them and collecting the goods. I did enjoy some of my time on the beach this evening, but I was saddened to see so much trash on the the beach. It looked worse that Panama City Beach. Grayton was not even closed to being a Blue Wave Certified beach today.

We went to Alys for the sunset, and even there where there are few people it was scattered with tons of stuff. Maybe it has been there awhile as there were lots of plastic nosecones from July 4th rockets. Lots of cellophane type stuff for whatever reason, too. I guess junk drifts down from Rosemary and Seacrest

I feel your pain..SJ. Here at Miramar, it is just as bad.
I cannot imagine what makes a person arrive at a beautiful beach, sit and enjoy the ambiance for hours, then get up and leave a trail of garbage all the way to their car.
There is a disconnect somewhere..maybe, like just about everything these days, they think the beach is one-time-use disposable.:angry: Sheesh...

A kingdom for a handful of red tags...palease!

From the reports I heard, tagging began on Monday night and the first removals started yesterday in the Miramar area. The first section resulted in 9 extra loads of beach stuff in addition to the regular beach trash. Today they are finishing the rest of Miramar to Topsail Hill. Due to the amount of stuff, the beach has been broken down in sections to begin with. They will be continuing moving eastward through 30A with a complete pass through the area by next Tuesday.

As far as items at County/TDC accesses, they are being removed this week also. This means kayaks and anything attached to the boardwalks also so if you "had" a kayak at a County beach access, it is probably no longer there.
