Miramar Beach Cleanup!

[jack S]

Today a small group of Surfrider Foundation members worked on cleaning up the beach east of the Whale's tail along the public parking section. This beach is without question the most abused beach in Walton county! You can't even see the beachfront as it is totally blocked by chair setups! Cans and bottles are everywhere. The most frequent article is, as always, the cigarette butt! A surprising second is drinking straws. Surprising until you realize that a tiki bar serves drinks with straws right there! The most disgusting articles include condoms, tampon applicators and 4 dirty diapers from different parts of the beach! What lesson do these parents teach their children with that behavior!
Anyway, we made a dent. We will return here again.
Every second Sunday Surfrider Emerald Coast does a beach cleanup. Check www.surfider.org and click on emerald coast chapter for location.

Here is a sampling of this beach looks like daily. Keep in mind that these are beaches of South Walton. This is unacceptable. We will keep you posted on more beach cleanups with the Surfrider Foundation.

That 4th picture is where me & the girls picked up trash on July 5. We had a bag full by the time we got down to the beach.

What really chapped me was that I had one baby on my hip, and another one right beside me and carrying a full trash bag. Do you think any one of the dozens of people out walking offered to help pick up anything? No, they walk/excercise right by this garbage every day. :angry:
