We ask that retailers in South Walton remove large sand shovels from their shelves. The pits left by these shovels present a danger to people and endangered sea turtles alike. We encourage our local businesses to be responsible members of the community and discontinue sales of oversized sand shovels.
The local retailers are still ignoring our requests to pull these giant shovels from the shelves. Take a photo of the oversized gear currently on display and post it to your Facebook page to tag the stores involved. Send an email to your local representative today and demand that they address this safety hazard on our beaches.

Saw a kid fall into a massive hole at the beach last week and it was terrifying. These things are way too big for a toddler to be using.

Think of the poor sea turtles!! Crawling over those jagged craters at night is impossible for them. Just use the small plastic ones.

Totally agree. They are an eyesore and a major safety hazard.

My husband twisted his ankle in one of those monster holes last summer. It needs to stop.

Ridiculous that they sell these at the gift shops. Tourists leave these huge craters everywhere and dont even bother to fill them in. Stop selling them.

It is just common sense. Keep the heavy construction equipment at the construction site not on a public beach.
