Interesting idea SJ...it would also cut down on cash spent to fill walls with palm tree and monkey pics!!! I'm beginning to think an invisible fence would be a "shockingly" good idea...without the collars being available of course!
PLEASE... Don't Walk Between Gulf Homes

Great Ideas. Here is one more. Hang the picture with the rules in all of restaurants bathrooms in the right places. Then everyone can read while taking care of business.
AMEN TO EVERYONE WHO EXPRESSED AN OPINION ON THIS THREAD! I agree 1000%!!! We love our dunes! :clap_1:

I understand the need to protect the dunes, but don't you think people are getting a little mean-spirited here. I don't like the thought that my guests are being threatened with being shot and/or arrested for trespassing when trying to enjoy the beaches that God made and re-made. Weren't these very gulf-front houses built on top of the dunes with little regard for protecting them? I love this area, let's protect the dunes and be NICE about it. :!:

Even responses to serious subjects on this board are not always serious. But, Sea Turtle has a home in peril and is worried about losing more sand.

That is an ironic observation, Nancy.
NJ,
I feel for the present gulf front owners. The builders of a large number of these homes (not necessarily all of the builders or the present owners) had total disregard for the dune system when they built right on top of them. We were not worried about bulldozers, but we are now worried about foot steps.
The bottom line is mother nature is going to destroy the dune system and re-create the beach as we know it or she will replenish it herself. We as humans give ourselves way too much credit in believing we could control the outcome.
I hope mother nature spares us for while.
Lets ask our guests to use the beach accesses and state parks available to prevent further damage to a terrible situation.

I have been a lurker on this page catching up on all the damage. Thanks for all the information. My parents live in Lake Place, so I was happy to hear from Sunshine.
A couple of ideas to throw out there...for t-shirts or billboards. I love the billboard idea.
Don't Doom the Dunes (with some type of graphic on the back with a list of things you can do to save the dunes..stay off, don't pick sea oats, etc.)
or
The state has done great campaigns focusing on saving other endanged species, why not play off of that knowlege the average person/visitor might have to help get the dune issue across with association. A list on a shirt, such as
Florida Manatee
Brown Pelican
Loggerhead Sea Turtle
[I]South Walton Dunes[/I]
They ALL need our protection.
Just some thoughts. My family treasures Grayton Beach and the entire 30A area, and I would love to see it stay around for my children and grandchildren.

I didn't read most posts to be any more than exaggerations. Certainly doubt they were meant to be taken so literally. Oh, has anyone thought of "accidentally" finding some dummy landminds in the dunes. :shock: When word got out, who would go on the dunes :!:
(Not serious here, not serious!)
