Hi all, I've noticed on some of the Destin beach cams that the water looks awfully murky in close to the break line. Do we have June grass already? Sargassum?
What's the story?

Smiling JOeSoWal Expert31,643 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal Expertbut it appears to be settling a bit, so unless we get some _________ ...(I cannot jinx Mayhem) this weekend, it should be clearing very soon.
Thanks, guys. It looks clear out toward the sand bar. That's why I suspected June grass, as it tends to gather fairly close in.

Just remember to keep your eyes peeled for jellyfish and man-o-war! ;-)

You might be getting the weather we had early this morning. Lots of lightning, thunder, rain and barking from Molly! She is not a fan of the big noise.

Oh well, at least we have a pool this time. Guess it will be fun looking beyond the trash at the horizon from the balcony at the condo.
My first trip (for more than two days) down there in two years. I can't catch a break to save my life. No way I'm letting a toddler play in this smelly, nasty trash.
Can't blame anyone but mother nature for this, but this really sucks. :pissed:
I think our next vacation may be to the mountains.
I'm done.

JdargSoWal Expert18,040 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal ExpertGood grief- it's just seaweed! It smells like.....the ocean!! My kids have played in it just about every year. They have probably ingested some of it too- good fiber and lots of vitamins I am sure. I think there are resorts around that have people to rake the beaches clean for you if it freaks you out that much.:blink:
If you go to the mountains, watch out for poison ivy, snakes, bears, and ticks.;-)

I'm just one of those OCD-types that wants everything to be perfect. Of course, it never is and I need to learn to accept it.
There just always seems to be one issue every single time we go that puts a damper on things. All things considered, I guess this isn't that bad.
I just want the water and sand to look like my avatar. That's not really TOO much to ask, is it?

It's not bad! You and your little one can find lots of cool stuff hiding in the seaweed like shells and critters. Make a sandperson instead of a sandcastle and use the seaweed for hair!

JB, I think that was last week. ;-) I'm sure you'll have a great time anyway. It is kind of ugly to look at but it is what it is.....nature.

You have the right attitude, jen-ay. :clap_1: One of my all-time favorite beach memories is from the year we stayed at Seaside and the shoreline was covered with gobs and gobs of seaweed. The kids--we had four of them with us, all little squirts--made a huge sand fort and spent hours that week pelting each other from behind their "forts." It was so funny to watch them! They reeked of eau de seaweed like you wouldn't believe but it was so hilarious watching their "medieval tournaments." Best entertainment ever, and it took the sting out of not having a picture-perfect beach for our vacation. In retrospect, that nasty beach made the week. Who'd a thunk it? 😀
