Here's a tip: when you actually have to bring heavy-duty industrial degreaser for a day out at the beach, it's probably a better idea to just stay home.

Seriously people, get your kids off the beach!

1. Just go down to Redondo & Torrance beach in California

There is still tar & muck from the Santa Barbara spills of 40 years ago.

You have to clean the shit off your feet with gasoline before you go home.

2. These beaches should be closed for cleanup.

Not even going to comment on what should be done with the parents.

6. That little girl is now

a Tarheel Indian...

The rest of these comments though, a bit over the top. "Beaches covered"? No, just lots and lots of little tarballs.

7. These are likely lower class people taking advantage of the "great deals" at the hotels.

Prices have plummeted.

8. A little shopping will clear that right up.
