We strongly opposes Shibumi Shades on our beaches. These wind-powered canopies create constant, loud flapping and snapping noises in even moderate breezes. The noise described by users as a- 'snapping and cracking machine,' or so raucous you can't hear the ocean waves or hold a conversation. This noise disrupts the peaceful beach experience, drowns out children's calls for help, and has led to widespread complaints about it being obnoxious and a nuisance in places that allow them. Their popularity has also turned many beaches into cluttered seas of identical shades that obstruct views and alter the natural shoreline vibe. We urge officials to restrict or ban them to protect the tranquility and safety of our shared beach community.
