Dangerous Situation Developing in Blue Mountain Beach

[Conn006]

I would think the county or state would have some sort of Official Dune sign, that would be uniform throughout all Florida beaches. That way it's recognizable when one sees it.

I agree, The Dunes need to be protected! Some people are just clueless...

Agree. We should all be behind protecting dunes. But are we going to start erecting private property signs on them? Shouldn't Dune protection signs be official and educational? Without snake warnings?

Last week around sunset time I saw an entire stack of vendor chairs stored on TOP of the actual dune at Grayton Beach. This is unacceptable.

Some vendor's chairs at Grayton are now always stacked by the ugly vendor post in the dune. I see them every morning. They should not be allowed to do this!

Also, the vendors at Grayton have started placing chairs & umbrellas outside of the designated vendor zones (that us constituents had no input on). Really makes me upset, but not sure what we can do about it. I've written our commissioners multiple times. Either I get no response, or some nonsensical, incompetent non-response. Sort of like the new "parking lot" across 30a from the Grayton Craft Bar. Whose bright idea was that? Sheesh...

Wow. The Grayton dunes are now vendor storage. No doubt happening on other beaches as well.

Vendors are a huge problem. I believe C. Jones's son is one there at Grayton.

Who governs the vendors, I'm assuming no one?! Is there supposed to be a vendor employee at each site at all times?

Can we call the beach patrol to issue citations?

I think code enforcement is supposed to be enforcing the vending rules, but I've never seen them do anything of the sort. Some of the other folks on this forum may know more about this... Who is supposed to enforce the vending rules and how do we contact them?

C. Jones son has never been a chair vendor at grayton. He's based in seagrove beach near eastern lake.

Thanks for Jeff's number. I'll give him a call next time I see bad vendor behavior.

As for the new Craft Bar parking lot across 30a -- it happened quickly and quietly. Nobody in Grayton knew it
was happening until it did.
