Crap on the beach

The ignorant slobs who litter the beaches will find that cheap plastic stuff at Wal-Mart or a ton of other stores even if Wings were to stop carrying those items. I can't say I blame the Wings manager for his response. Perhaps they could put up signs reminding customers about beach courtesy, but you can't put the responsibility on them to clean up after the slobs any more than you can ask the liquor stores to clean the empty bottles and beer cans off the beaches.

Excellent ideas, and doesn't affect sales, but may help to remind a few extra people the importance of cleaning up after themselves. It only takes one, to start a revolution.
 
Can't the title of this thread be changed to "Inappropriate excrement, hooey, garbage, poppycock, garbage on the beach?
I am tired of looking at the word CRAP for the past month. ;-) :funn:

Mr. Pickel:
Thank you for joining this discussion. Earlier this year a Sheriff's Deputy on Beach Patrol stated that they don't enforce rules regarding tents left overnight on the beach. He indicated that the TDC was in charge of enforcement.

I have a few questions:

1. Are there rules/ordinances against leaving articles (such as tents) on the beach overnight?

2. Which agency has the authority (or will) to enforce said rules, if they exist?

Thanks for your interest in this issue.

Very interesting since we have NO enforcement capability at all... There are two main contacts as far as County enforcement of beach issues. Leslie Campbell is the Beach Activities Coordinator, and Code Enforcement is the enforcement agency of the county. I would recommend you starting with Leslie.
 
When I was there last week, I used a beach service that did not remove chairs and umbrellas each night. In fact, none of the three services that I saw did so. Is there a beach service that does this? When we stayed at Henderson Park Inn, this was done each night at the large complexes.

Grayton Beach Service removes their chairs and umbrellas daily.
 
Grayton Beach Service (along with Burke's and Chairs 4 U) was one of the three beach services that had chairs up 24/7 during the week we were at Blue Mountain. In fact, they had 4 chairs and two umbrellas that were never touched that whole week. I guess it is standard practice which is not a popular one?
 
:blush: It sure would've been SPECIAL!!! Some people are just TOO special to pick up after theirselves much less their pets! They don't live there why should they give a care? When it comes down to it, it seems when folks are vacationing they just want to throw down with little regard to Mother Nature or the mess they are leaving behind or even the children who will be playing there.:idontno: I just don't get it-did their mama pick up all their little messes?!
What about all the cigarette butts? It's just nasty! Everytime we come down I'm appaulled at the trash people leave on the beach. Those little juice box straw cellophanes are everywhere too! ALL that stuff accumulates! :nono1:
We evidently need some signage to remind people to take care of Mother Nature:wub: How about, "Please no BUTTS on the beach!" or "Take care of Mother Nature and she'll take care of you-Please keep our beaches pristine!":wub: or how about a simple sign from the county along 30-A saying "$1000 fine for littering" . I think we are all paying enough property taxes for some anti-littering signage along the corridor! Then maybe some of these LITTERBUGS would notice and it would mean something to them since money is so powerful even more than a clean environment apparently. Make 'em pay or go to jail! Somebody has got to get tough or our beaches are going to end up trashed like some many other beaches already are! In the meantime I guess a few brave ones are going to have to do it all-asking others to pick up their stuff even their dang dog poo! Thanks for all your bravery because I know its not fun either constantly picking up others trash or asking them to do so. Thanks for caring! Keep speaking up to these trashy people "cause every litterbug hurts!:clap_1:
