I saw something very strange yesterday

Yeah, looks like they are back. Time to move your crap folks!

They can set up a tent on the beach (removed daily, of course) and re-sell it to offset the cost of enforcement.

Did the BCC approve the new draft of the ordinance last night?

I get up around 5:30 for a sunrise run with my dog on the beach most mornings and usually get done around 7:00...Interesting enough when I returned to the beach access I use, my beach towel, flip flops and water bottle had all been picked up by the TDC trucks. Obviously they assumed it had been there overnight. Sooo, just be careful because if you're down there early like myself this could happen to you! They did return everything after I called

Oh I do hope they picked up all the stuff left on the beach in Grayton!!

Went for a walk on Miramar Beach this morning about 6:30 am - lots of tents up - when I came back - lots of tents gone - didn't see the TDC guy - but someone removed those tents - Thank you!!!!!!!

Wear it to Fire next week.

Masquerade Brunch!

Kudoes to the TDC!

Thank you for taking back the beaches, TDC!!

No

How's this for a legal strategy:

1) Remove all the crap from the beaches
2) Allow people to bring suit for any confiscated property and reimburse them for all property removed
3) Fine the folks in #2 for violating Endangered Species Laws (since they gave written legal testimony that they owned and left the items on the beach).
4) Collect fines, court costs, and 2x the amount they were reimbursed in judgment and use it to fund the clean-up program

Wear it to Fire next week.

Masquerade Brunch!

Kudoes to the TDC!

We've already done a costume brunch. It needs to get colder and we'll do Ye Olde Brunche.

TDC!!!

I will need to go see this for myself.

I heard from a pretty reliable source that Grayton beach and beaches at public accesses were cleared out at 5:30 am yesterday morning, and maybe this morning too? (Thank you reliable source )

Here is the funny part- the owners of the tents, chairs, etc. had the gall to call the county and threaten lawsuits and whine that their stuff was removed. Seriously.

I hope the county has big enough cahoneys to tell all those people where they can get off. If not for emergency reasons, then the turtles must win out over some sleazy ambulance chasing lawyers.

Does anyone know if they are doing this on all beaches? We were down by Eastern Lake early this morning and all the tents and crap were still set up ... blows our minds how much trash (cans, butts, bottles) people leave in addition to their multitude of chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, toys, towels, etc .... are they only picking up on certain beaches .... what's the deal?

YAY!!!

Let them sue, we have Mr Kitty in our corner:boxing:

I smell landmark supreme court case.

The other day while walking by Maravilla on Scenic Gulf (Old 98) I noticed a new sign up by their beach gate. No tents allowed on Maravilla's Beach. Now I am sure that part of this is that area of the beach gets so crowded this time of year - or possibly they don't want tents in the way of their chairs - but whatever the reason - Thank you Maravilla.
