VISITING OUR HILTON HEAD BEACHES THIS SUMMER? A FEW REMINDERS

As many of the locals know, our beach rules are a little more stringent as well as enforced during the summer when our tourists arrive. And that's a necessary evil! Just imagine if everyone enjoyed the beaches with no regard for the environment as well as the enjoyment of others.

So here's the nitty gritty of how we all need to behave this summer---Trust me, failure to adjere to these reasonable rules will bring you a little visit from the Sheriff's Deputies. The following items are prohibited on Hilton Head Island Beaches:

• Alcoholic liquor, beer, wine
• Glass (bottles, containers, etc.)
• Littering
• Indecent exposure (nudity)
• Disorderly conduct
• Disturbing the peace
