    Don’t tell the people to “treat the beach as if it’s their own”!!!! These people’s houses, and cars are TRASHED too!!!

    It’s not about treat the rich better or that laguna beach can afford it. It’s about having respect for common space, respect for natural resources but also cleaning tf after yourself. What the hell happened to common decency??!! The damn audacity and entitlement that people have nowadays to leave their trash behind ANYWHERE they go is effing gross. If these are parents being dirty then you’re a damn disgraceful example to your children
  • A lot a people are so nasty , they need to take their trash and have a respec wherever they go, when I go hiking I took my trash bag to pick up the trash that I saw in the way.

    I'm kind of surprised because parking is so limited around there and the traffic is awful. There are much easier beaches to reach and enjoy.
  • @Opekillz
    Just clean after yourself…. The beach is for everyone.

    Enforce the law and give them Citation for littering, CA is a lawless state, that is the problem, lol.
  • @HouMat-if5fi
    A bunch of tourists? In California? In summer? At the beach? That story just got wackier and wackier.

    Please no dirty rolled-up diapers aka snowballs left in the sand when you leave. It's seriously nasty and anti-American too
  • @Urmak85
