Our videos (above) taken today in Pensacola Beach & Destin show another beautiful day along the Beaches of Northwest Florida. There is some “June Grass” (seaweed) making its annual visit but it will clear out any day now.

As I spent some of Saturday and Sunday on the beach I didn’t experience anything out of the usual along our beautiful shores. Everyday, boats and ATVs search our coast for any effects from the BP oil spill. There have been no reports of smells or anything more than a few tar balls affecting our shores. Further, there are cleanup crews on standby to quickly clean any affected areas. Any potential effects on our shoreline are expected to be sporadic and highly weathered, such as tar balls, oil sheen, tar mats or mousse.

Just like you, we listen, watch and monitor the conditions thoroughly and will keep you updated if anything changes about our white sand and emerald water. Remember our Southern Pledge about refunding your money if the oil closes our beaches and keep those plans to visit the Beaches of Northwest Florida.
