Question of the Month
What's the worst thing you've found at the beach (on the sand or in the water)? *

"A syringe and a used condom."—Cyndee, Sherman Oaks, CA

"Floating turds in the water and raw sewage from septic overflow. I paddled away as fast as I could!"—Donna, Ventura, CA

"Diapers, needles, trash bags, and band-aids, but the things that I really worry about are the things that i can't see at all. "—Niles, Venice, CA

"Used condoms and tampons."—Kristine, Venice, CA

* Note: It's an unpleasant topic, but the good news is you can do something about beach pollution by volunteering with organizations that help to keep the water and beaches clean, including Surfrider Foundation and Heal the Bay.
