Gulf Oil Spill and spoiled vacations
“IS THERE TAR ON THE BEACHES IN DESTIN?”
That is the question Destin rental owners want to hear from would be vacationers. Based on erroneous information printed in various local newspapers, misleading news stories on TV and bits of information, Vacationers throughout the south have decided this is not the year to go to the beach.
Too bad for the would be vacationers, worse yet for those whose income for the year either does or does not happen primarily in the Months of June, July, and August along the gulf coast. The Reality is that since the beginning of the oil spill in April there have been two occurrences of tar balls on the Destin beaches. Once quarter size pieces of tar came up on the beach, and BP workers removed it within 24 hours. Another time nickel size pieces of tar came and again were quickly removed. ResortQuest, one of the leading Beach Rental Management Companies in Destin, posts daily photos of the beaches on their website, ResortQuest.com.
Check it out! Summer was meant for the beach.
