So many ugly signs on our beaches these days and they are multiplying along with vendors with chair setups. Post em if you got em. Just saw this photo on Facebook posted by a local unhappy with this homeowner who lives somewhere else yet asks for local discount at the bar while claiming private beach.

I agree that that company should be banned from EVER doing a setup like that so near a nest that is clearly marked.
Plus left over night... Which came first the setup are the nesting turtle?

Was just reading SWTWs post on Facebook. They are asking for the name of the business/person that did this "event". Hopefully we can find that info out for them and they can get something done about the out of hand vendors on our beaches.

Maybe if we all tag the sheriff and FWC on other social media we can get some enforcement going on. Pretty sure there would be fines involved from the state...

Funny last week the sheriff deputy was driving the beach and he stopped pulled up a private beach sign and threw it up on their high property. Saying " these aren't allowed ". Sadly it's back and she is planting sea oats from her bank down on the dry sand today
I wonder if this is something that can be reported. I have always been under the impression that the beach is public property as soon as you get down to the actual sand. Someone correct me and tell me if this in not the case, please.

Good call! I live in Seagrove and pay taxes and will be damned if a little wooden sign is going to keep me from enjoying the beach in the county where I pay taxes and live.

These are some of the saddest pictures I've ever seen.

Someone needs to get this to the news channels, let them embarrass the local law officials about their lack of involvement on many issues.
