Florida counties to show truth about beaches Saturday
Florida volunteer organizations and beach-lovers across the state are preparing for what may well be the world’s biggest beach rally — the Great VISIT FLORIDA Beach Walk, on Saturday, Nov. 6.
The statewide Beach Walk and Photo Fest will show the world that Florida’s 825 miles of beaches are as gorgeous as ever, in photos uploaded to the internet by volunteers who will walk or paddle, shoot photos of all Sunshine State beaches and upload the images in real time to an online gallery for all to see.
More than 1,000 volunteers are signed up to participate in Florida’s 34 beach counties. They include scout troops, surfers, service organizations, tourism businesses, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Keep Florida Beautiful volunteers, kayakers, firefighters, and wildlife conservation organizations.
