Agreed, and the person I am referring to seems quite content to wake up on Seagrove Beach each day, use the public facilities, hop on his bike and go see where he can scare up a sandwich. There is a difference between "homeless" and a very willing "beach bum". Both need to be addressed in Sowal, and this recent tragedy highlights the importance of reporting trespassers. Our neighborhood board will be encouraging people to report this kind of thing to the sheriff.
We have witnessed what appears to be a homeless person at the Santa Clara beach access and have contacted the TDC who told us they were aware of the situation but had no jurisdiction and suggested we call the non emergency number for the sheriff's department, 850.267.2000.
