I don't think wanting people to pick up after their dogs is excessive.

Hello SoWal, I'm back after an extended absence. I am so happy to see my post from March has attracted such good discussion.
One thing I'd like to add to the discussion is that should the County (Code Enf. or WCSO) look to finally address the multiple violations on the beaches, I would ask that they enforce equally, not only during the off season when us "locals" abound. The most violations take place during tourist season and it is my opinion that the TDC educate the visitors instead of changing "the beaches" signs and taking helicopter rides with the sheriff's office.
I am very tired of seeing bottles on the beach (yes, I do call the Sheriffs Office to report this) and dogs during the day (some without leash). This past season was very productive financially for the area, however I could not help but notice the "sketchy" crowd that was also attracted by lower rates, etc.
One more thing, if you are going to stop locals on golf carts without tags, be sure to stop the tourists too.
Glad to be back.
