Are you a New Year’s resolution maker? If so, a good one to add to your list for 2021 is being green at the beach. It’s an easy resolution to keep if you follow our tips for your next Gulf Shores and Orange Beach visit:
- Take an extra trash bag to the beach and pick up any trash you see when you make your way between your car and the water.
- Walk only on boardwalks or designated paths to protect the dune systems.
- Pack everything out that you brought in, and Leave Only Footprints.
- If you dig holes while playing in the sand, be sure to fill them in before you leave.
- Recycle what you can.
- Use sustainable, insulated drinkware. Most will keep your drinks hot or cold for hours. They are a perfect option for the beach.
These are just a few ideas. Visit our website to learn more about how to protect our fragile coastal environment.
Happy New Year!
