    Beach quality

    I sure have noticed over the years how the beach sand seems to have become ever more dirty. In days gone by I would never hesitate to sprawl out on the beach, however these days now, even walking, I always wear sandals. Between the cigarette butts, dog and horse poop, empty bottles and food containers, the beach is becoming quite disgusting.
    Is there a way all vested interests could spring for sieving of the sand to clean all the crap out of it? I would put in my $20.
    If you are worried about something, do something about it. If there is nothing you can do, why worry!

    They could make the beach non-smoking. That would at least eliminate the nasty cig butts. It would be a nice start.

    I think progress has been made. I see less roadside trash than 10 years ago. Phone cards used to be the biggest toss away.

    The sight of the beach the morning after a concert really makes me sad.

    I agree with Big_frank. We commented this year that the drive between Mobay and Negril seemed cleaner. The beach road in Negril is definitely cleaner with much less litter. On my morning beach walks I use to pick up bottle caps, cig butts and broken glass and this year really didn't see much. I will say my wife cut her toe one night on what must have been glass. Fortunately not bad enough for stitches and salt water helps heal.

    I also find Manley boulevard to be littered with garbage. They added the sidewalk , which is great, but the trash that you need to walk by is disgusting. Open garbage containers, trash from resorts.... the smell is horrible sometimes.
