COCOA BEACH -- It may soon be legal to dig holes in the sand at one Brevard County beach.
Cocoa Beach’s city commission is planning to fine tune some of its ordinances, including digging on the beach.
The commission is looking to better define what holes can be dug in the sand.
There are currently restrictions for the safety of beachgoers and sea turtles.
Under their proposal, people can’t dig a hole 18 inches or deeper. The intent, they said, isn’t to crack down on kids making sand castles on the beach.
The commission is also looking to allow some gas grills on the beach, but not charcoal.
They also want to limit the area where tents can be placed next to each other.
The commission may take action in May.

Bring your ruler and a camera.

Wish they would outlaw all cans and glass bottles, only allow recyclable plastic bottles....

Amen to outlawing all cans and glass bottles.
No to allowing recyclable plastic bottles as over time they break into small pieces which wildlife eat.

The Rule should be: What you take in, You must also take out.

Betta - In addition to the Rule, you should do you part in helping keep the beach clean,
by hauling away the trash you detect and see.

I agree with you. It's a shame that when I visit the beach there is trash on it from the day before. The trash cans are by the beach exits for a reason.
