Glass on the beach
Are bottles or glass allowed on the National Park Beaches on St. John?

glass on the beach...
Visit Frank Beach in town.It's a fine example why glass shouldn't be allowed on a beach.I walked this beach back in July and found shards of glass all over that beach.No it wasn't sea glass, it was beer bottles. Parafins.

Please don't take this the wrong way, i'm not trying to be a smart ass, but, where do you think sea glass comes from?
Irregardless of the container, let's help keep the beaches clean. We always try to take as many other containers out as we bring. So, for each 4 cans or water bottles we take to the beach, take another 4 orphans with you that are already there!! It adds up!

Our drink of choice for the week was VI Summer Ale and I don't think it comes in anything but bottles. We just stayed near our cooler when we drank, kept the bottles in koozies and kept our trash all together when we left. If I'd made a mess, I'd have cleaned it up as best I could've.
One of the girls in our group did step on a piece of glass in the water at Ivan's but it was worn down from the sea and didn't even hurt her.

Mr.B,No I don't think your a smart a##.Smarts come from our heads not from our bottoms....so bottoms up!{just not with glass containers! }P.S.I know sea glass comes from broken bottles.Frank Beach may have that,but there seems to be a lot of sharp shards of glass as well.ParafinsMrB wrote:Please don't take this the wrong way, i'm not trying to be a smart ass, but, where do you think sea glass comes from?

We were big VI Summer Ale fans and actually all of the beer we wanted to drink only came in bottles. We kept our coolers in the car at Maho and Francis and took turns going for beer runs to fill up our plastic cups. The teen in our group did take a beer bottle and filled it with sand for his gf. He sat it on our blanket by the cooler and none of us really thought about it (probably due to the many beer runs) and a park ranger patrolling the beach asked that we please take it to our car. Glad we didn't get slapped with the fine!
