Beach season is finished. Dead and gone. The water is still there, the sand is still there, but neither are any longer fit for human use. What was just last week a clean and clear beach has been overrun with trash. A turn of the tide and the water has cooled and brought buckets of debris, human, natural, and otherwise on shore and ruined what was once a very lovely beach. I understand the aversion to paying for trash cans. Trash removal is expensive, but isn't this just as expensive? Doesn't the cost of trash removal outweigh this? My last post was only 9 pictures, so this one's 11 and as always, some foolish comments.
This is the End
.jpg "You might be asking, hey momo head, why sit in all the trash? Because there was nowhere else to sit.")
We gave it our best effort, as we'd driven about 30 minutes up the coast in hopes of having one last beach day, but it just wasn't working. |
Bag O' Fish
-3.jpg "Why would you put fish into a bag and then throw it into the ocean or onto the beach? I don't know.") |
| This bag of fish was the biggest offender. The smell was overwhelming and little black flies swirled all around it. |
In the Nest
-2.jpg "Trash, trash, and more trash.") |
| The trash looks so peaceful. |
The Party Never Stops
-6.jpg "There was a lot of trash and a ton of variety. This was the only beer bottle I saw, I only saw one coke can. Maybe it was just one party who dumped all their trash. Thanks guys!") |
| Was it people on this beach who chucked their trash? Was it people miles away who threw their trash into the ocean and it ended up here? Probably both. |
Family Time
-7.jpg "I'm sure these people had the same idea as us, go to the beach one last time. They made the best of it.") |
| "Dad, can we go to the beach?" "Sure, just don't touch anything. Anything." |
Fishing
 |
| There will always be two guys fishing, no matter how dirty the beach is. |
Peanuts
 |
| Mmmmm.... delicious. |
The Glove and the Shell
 |
| Some of man's trash, some of nature's. |
The Picnic
 |
| You could have had a picnic with all the nastiness on the beach. |
Hey Kid
 |
| No trash pile would be complete without the ubiquitous soju bottle. |
The Mask
 |
| I'm done snorkeling, so I'll just throw my mask on the ground and leave it for the next guy. |
