This is my least favorite beach to clean & today's clean up was the most depressing yet. Due to the storm Saturday there was an exceptional amount of trash in the water & in the strand-line & due to the hot & sunny weather and school vacation the beach was packed w/ children. The indifference of the parents to their children swimming and playing in trash astounds me. Ma & pa install in it,  completely & thouroughly ignoring the fact they are laying in garbage, although 1 mother handed me a couple pieces of broken glass. This is also predominately a local beach, it is not tourists polluting nor enjoying it.  Plages Propres is: A study of the social & ecologic behavior of modern humans in their natural habitat.

Additionally this beach has the clubhouse for the lifeguards of Claren, a stand-up paddle rental site and a concession stand.  Taking pride and responsibility where we live, work, & play is in everybody's interest. Indifference is
 a choice!
