    Sick Of Beach Chair Vendors in South Walton

    Even worse, i heard that Kemp's Ridley often come ashore during the day to nest. They are very endangered. One came up at daylight and nested at topsail hill park.

    I've looked at the Seagrove sky beach cam at night and saw hundreds of flashlights up and down the beach. I invite you all to look for yourselves.

    Which 50% is that b/c their 50 keeps growing. It now seems to be the entire waterline on both sides of the stand. The folks who arrive after sunrise are getting the 50 behind them. Grrr. So frustrating!

    Sick Of Beach Chair Vendors in South Walton

    Sunny, I understand why people like rental chairs. However they are renting the chair not the public property it is sitting on and have no right to that property when they are not even on the beach. Nor does the vendor as far as i am concerned. The vendor should set their stuff when they...

    Sick Of Beach Chair Vendors in South Walton

    We arrived at the beach today and i do believe i heard angels singing! Fewer chairs and tents and they were spaced out and back from water. Code enforcement drove by several times. The news coverage day before yesterday may have shamed someone into being courteous. I feel the local love already.

    Sick Of Beach Chair Vendors in South Walton

    Like I told you, I have sat there and watched the SAME group of guys set up dozens (and NOT the dark blue ones) chairs and tents on different occasions and on a different side from the dark blue ones. Again, all at the same time. I go to this beach access alot, I know what I'm looking at b/c I'm...

    They need to make vendors tag their equipment so the enforcement officers can tell for sure and stop this camouflage bs. That would be tooooooo easy.

    Oh, sorry, but you are mistaken... I get there early and the parking lot is practically empty, but the we waterline of the beach is already full of tents and chairs (one vendor sets up on one side of the life guard and has all the same chairs and umbrellas and on the other side is the vendor...

    I wonder what will happen when a fishing guide decides to do a beach fishing charter and scads of folks have hooks and lines at the shore where people are trying to swim. I'm sorry but it's like every other public use area there has to be rules so everyone can be included and no one party can...

    I work from home so I look at the beach cams in the morning and if the water looks pretty we're out the door and back before my clients notice I'm missing! HAHA!

    Gulfview Heights and Walline. The situation with tents almost in the water was at GVH. I have also put my chair and stuff down and came back from swimming to find a vendor chair so close it was literally touching mine. That's just plain rude not rugged individualism. Sorry, but something needs...

    Flamingos On Watersound Beach

    They also flew over the crowd on the beach at Grayton state park just as the sun was setting before the fireworks show at Seaside. They flew right into the sunset. WOW. Not sure that many people actually saw them though.

    So sick of the beach chair/tent vendors setting up tents right next to the waters edge. One of the vendors with dark blue chairs and umbrellas sets them back a ways and far enough apart to walk through but the other guy with the cheap chairs and tents makes the beach look like crap. Today he put...

    National Flood Insurance Program

    Here's my two cents: They would have done better to do a 20% across the board rate hike for all subsidized policies effective immediately (continued for 5 years) and ban future development in flood prone areas (or at least demand construction standards be at 5 feet above BFE or so. That would...

    National Flood Insurance Program

    Evan: Actually mine just renewed effective 11-11 so it is after the OCt. 1 implementation. And if you read Biggert Waters it actually does matter if the property is owner occupied. If you go to floodsmart.gov it gives you a table to look at and find sample premiums and it has a notation to ask...

    National Flood Insurance Program

    I asked about this last year and was told by my agent that the large increases would apply to pre-firm (in Walton County I think she said 1976) buildings (particularly rental properties) that are in zones A, AE and Z. I'm in an AE zone (hazard) and my premium only went up $20 for the year. I'm...

    Where to FISH in SoWal???

    A kayak fisherman at cesna boat ramp (Hogtown) said that he was fising for specks and reds. It sounded more like a rash, but my husband nodded his head as if he understood. (Still not totally sure that he did).
