MY HUSBAND AND I WALKED OUT ON BEACH IN DESTIN BEHIND THE BACK PORCH RESTAURANT THIS MORNING. APROXIMATELY A QUARTER OF AMILE STRETCH WAS COVERED IN JUNE GRASS DEGUISING THE GOLF BALL TO PEA SIZE TAR BALLS WASHING UP ON THE BEACH. I ONLY REALIZED THIOS BECAUSE WHEN WE WENT TO RINSE OUR FEET OFF WE WERE COVERED IN RED , STICKY OIL SPOTS. THNOT TO MENTION THE HORRID SMELL OF OIL IN THE AIR WAS SICKENING.
