County leaders are trying to convince beachgoers to buy better tents and other shade...
Bolivar beach supervisor Michael Lentz, center, along with Bolivar beach patrol workers Michael Murphy, left, and Dale Dishman set up a Shibumi Shade wind tent on the sand in Crystal Beach on March 4, 2022. The tent was part of a display of tents that could serve as an alternative to the commonly used, aluminum-framed folding tents used by many beachgoers and then abandoned.
The county is undertaking a campaign to encourage people to buy better shades that they’re more inclined to take home. Abandoned tents aren’t just eyesores. Left on the sand, they get twisted and broken, and their plastic tarps can end up going into the peninsula’s protected sand dunes, Diaz said.
