Friendly reminder-fill in your holes and pick up after yourself!

I always take a trash bag to the beach when I go. People are going to leave trash on the beach no matter how educated they are. All I can hope is that when people see me picking up other people's trash, they will get the message
I guess these types of tourists are accustomed to Disney, where your trash is whisked away as soon as it hits the ground. A magic beach fairy will clean it all up

I read that it was piled high on PCB. The Holiday Inn Sunspree was noted as a resort that cleans their beach every evening.

I googled Panama City Beach trash.

afunn, i do the same i take a 'trash' bag down with us as well. it really is not that hard to take a cooler, open, drink your beer, eat your snacks, smoke your cigs, whatever. when finished, open cooler again put empty beer and snack wrapper in trash bag inside cooler and take that cigarette (that's out) up to the trash bin at the steps. rocket science. lazy ass americans.

i know this issue will be discussed all season but that will be my only post regarding litter/tents being left on the beach.

edit- it is much easier clean up though to put a bucket of margarita's in the cooler, and take cups. (the just add takillya on the border buckets that are at sam's are not bad for that)

There's no excuse - every beach access has a trash receptacle you walk by as you leave the beach.

Some people are slobs regardless of where they are. It is not specific to the beach nor is it specific to people from a certain area such as Atlanta.

Sadly some people are not going to do anything unless forced to. These are the same people that at a place like Chick Fil A never clean up after themselves, they just get up and walk out. They also think parking in the Fire Lane at the supermarket is reserved parking for them.

Granted. However, several of the large metro Atlanta area schools and colleges are on Spring Break this week. Skunky wouldn't call them out without good reason.

Understand, just hate to see an area blamed for the wrongs of a few. Most of the Southeast including Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas are out this week.

I did not realize Skunky knew specifically this jerk was from Atlanta, my bad.

Slobs definitely aren't limited to one geographic area, but as someone who's automatically played "the license plate game" for decades (from road trips pre-DVD, CD, etc.) I can say there is a definite correlation between certain license plates and a surge in certain bad behaviors.
