Ok . I really do hate to sound like I am complaining. But, the June Grass is getting pretty thick in Gulf Trace. We were looing to brach out. How are the other beaches looking. I know it can be pretty spotty. Thanks in advance for any help.

I like to think of it as a free skin treatment - think of all of the nutrients!

I prefer to have my seaweed wraps done in a spa.:floor:

The beach access at Dune Allen looked nice this morning, and it's just a bike ride down from where ya'll are staying!

I found it thick at certain areas of BMB only. Walked down a bit from the thickest area and there was none. This was day before yesterday.

June grass is back | grass, fish, beach - News - Northwest Florida Daily News

June grass does plenty to annoy beachgoers and fishermen. It creeps into bathing suits and clogs up fishing line. But it also serves an important ecological need, pointed out Dave Urie, who helps run the pier. "Remember, it's a nursery for all the little fish," he said. "The momma fish lay their eggs in it. It protects the little fish from the medium-size fish so they can grow up." It also provides nutrients when it washes up on the beach."

So I tell myself "this too shall pass" and every year it does 😀

It changes day to day and area to area in Seagrove.

But compared to oil and the lakes I grew up swimming in, it's nothing. Won't hurt you and rinses right off.
