Actions & Comments
several dogs a nuisance, running up to people ( incl. one fresh out of the ocean and jumping up on me...), owners not picking up after them. The usual.Also, noted the 'rip rap' gone bad house is still an eyesore when viewing from the beach. Their attempt to place riprap, put down some kind of netting, cover with sand, then planting, has gone bad. Picture enclosed. Also: another pic of someone 'landscaping' the area down almost to the sand. Not sure thats illegal, but sure looks strange. I would assume the natural vegetation provides some protection when the winterstorms start moving some of that sand away.Why mess with it???
