joewilly12 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Over the weekend attended a family wedding the venue was at place overlooking the beach of Long Branch N.J. When we got to the place the beach was packed like sardines. When the crowds left the litter left behind looked like a landfill. Whats wrong with people why do they feel the need to leave all their trash on the beaches where they spent the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I work, people act so proud of their town, kind of oddly elitist. Every day, parking lots full of used masks, hand wipes, crap like that. If you like your town so much, and are so proud of it, throw your crap away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure most of the the people on the beach weren't from town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 People all complain about paying beach fees yet they destroyed that beach last Sunday. The employees of the venue said this happens daily mostly on weekends is the biggest of messes. Pier Village in Long Branch N.J is no shabby area either this is sad on so many levels that this is happening. Need better enforcement on all our beaches. Arrest and fine people the word will get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats wrong with people why do they feel the need to leave all their trash on the beaches where they spent the day. It happens all over the world. This is a topic that hits home for me. I used to frequently visit my hometown beach and volunteered to pick up trash. It was an overwhelming and redundant task--a never ending story--a total disgrace. We have the same issues with the forest being used as dump sites. The utter disrespect to mother nature and our natural resources is outright a disgrace.

Morrissey Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Moving here in late 90s from Canada and one of the first things I noticed is how dirty the streets and highways are basically everywhere in NY/NJ compared to where I grew up in Ontario. NJ in particular has a bad rep because of the state of it's front door. The areas around Newark Airport and the major border crossings into NYC are disgrace.

I spent most of my younger days on South Beach, Staten Island; Riis Park; and Jones Beach, which is my favorite as you could walk for miles along the shore. Without hesitation, Point Reyes National Seashore (Marin County, CA) as the best--most scenic--beach I've ever experienced. Cape Cod is a close second.

Grew up in NJ and lived in the city from '06-'16, 9 of those years in Brooklyn. Been in Gulf Shores, AL for the past 5+ years and have little desire to go back.
