These Miami beaches are too full of crap to swim in right now Holy crap!

Pay heed

🔔 Water Quality Alert 🚨
The Florida Department of Health just issued an official swimming advisory for Golden Beach (along with Bark Beach and North Shore Ocean Terrace). Recent tests showed elevated levels of Enterococcus bacteria, which is a f***l indicator bacteria—so the recent news headlines calling it "p**p pollution" are spot on. Health officials are actively advising everyone to stay out of the water for now - Sandra

Yes, it has been that long.

I knew I felt tired for some reason today

Summer is here!

Since Mayor Levy and the city council of City of Hollywood, Florida Government are not listening to the humans who are most at risk from boating traffic close to shore (including snorkelers, scuba divers, paddle boarders, and swimmers), just who are they listening to?

There are currently no vessel exclusion buoys off Hollywood Beach. The vessel exclusion zone line was at 300 yards, but there were no buoys. (For many years, paddleboards even had to remain 300 yards offshore, and it was strongly enforced, even though we are not traveling at a high rate of speed and do not have propellers). Recently, 5 of our 7 city commissioners voted to place vessel exclusion buoys in the ocean. However, instead of voting to place them at the current 300 yard line, they voted to move the line in to 218 yards off shore.

In light of the tragic death of snorkeler Kelly Williams off the state park beach, please ask the City of Hollywood to reconsider the action to move the boat traffic lane from 300 yards to 218. The motorized vessel line was 300. Why move boats in closer to shore?

Boaters already have to remain a certain distance from the Dania Pier, and it shouldn't be a problem for them to continue to remain that far offshore as they travel down the coastline.

🐠 Currently, there are no buoys.
🐠 No snorkelers spoke in favor of welcoming motorized vessels closer to shore (from 300 to 218).
🐠 Shore diving is good for local Hollywood beach businesses and brings in parking revenue.
🐠 No boaters signed up to speak in favor of driving closer to shore (moving in to 218 yards).

Please send an email asking the City of Hollywood to think of this recent tragedy as a sign to reconsider distance before vessel exclusion buoys are placed.

We have heard reports that Kelly did have a dive flag. Snorkelers and divers have been hit before, even with dive flags.
Our deepest condolences to Kelly's family.

We've all done it. Admit it now.
