OK let me complain too. Have walked year round for over 10 years and beach is not patrolled often. Funds are available but I guess our county wants to spend money elsewhere or not spend it at all. Frankly, I don't know why they sell beach permits at all because most dogs do not have them and most dogs I encounter are allowed to roam unsupervised and unleashed while at the beach. Walked from Mistral to High Point in Seacrest Thursday and encountered SEVEN dogs unleashed and one with no collar at all but you are able to see the permit when they get close enough. That's my point. Don't like unsupervised dogs if I don't know them especially when they run right toward me!!!! Also to my horror I saw one dog while owner was watching trying to cover his mess on the dune. Owner never picked it up either. Nothing more to say.
