editor’s note

I

Ain’t no cure for the summertime blues…

It’s hard to believe that fall is almost here. As excited as I am to return to regular routines, I am saddened to lose the playful, unscheduled days of summer. Luckily, we live in such a beautiful place that we don’t have to give up summer entirely! We can still play in the evenings and on the weekends!

This issue we decided to showcase a different side of the Treasure Coast. A side that is just as beautiful as our beaches, if you know where to look. In celebration of Florida’s 500th Birthday, we focused on Old Florida and our state’s very diverse wilderness. Life out west boasts this diverse wildlife and a natural beauty.

We’re celebrating the hunt, even if you aren’t a hunter. To some, it is a family ritual, a passing of the torch. Vero has had many generations of skilled hunters. There are several members-only hunting organizations, along with state property and even private land that has been hunted for generations and generations. I loved visiting South Florida Shooting Club and watching grandfathers shoot skeet with their grandsons. There were dads practicing with their sons and an impressive female turnout at the club too! So no matter what your age, you can take up a new sport, or hobby, or just brush up on old skills. October brings us the beginning of hunting season, at least for our waterfowl. In this issue, you’ll also read about the vital role of man’s best friend and how a pet can also be your best hunting buddy. Mike Sommers shows us how he trains dogs in obedience and to properly retrieve on a hunt.

So this fall, we hope you take a walk in the woods, stay in a cabin at Quail Creek Plantation, sit by a campfire and tell a ghost story or two, and listen to the quiet side of our Treasure Coast.

You just might enjoy being one with nature; I know I do.

k The Hunt is On W

hen you think of things to do in Vero Beach, you might think all there is to do here is surf, fish and play at the beach. But did you know that our Treasure Coast offers a variety of hunting options too? Our harvested wildlife consists of deer, gator, waterfowl, turkey, quail, dove and even wild boar. Of course, there are permits required and restrictions that hunters must abide by but overall, it’s a sportsman’s paradise.

Florida is known as a thriving hunting destination. Whether at a private hunt camp, your own family land or a member’s only hunting facility, the tradition is alive and well. Our forefathers hunted for survival and to live off the land, and now the ritual and sport of hunting has been passed down for many generations. As a child, your early days as a hunter probably started out with shooting targets or even empty cans. Hunting requires patience, listening skills and quietness; life skills that we all need, even if we aren’t hunters. It’s about respect for a weapon, not a toy. Hunting is more than just shooting a gun in the woods. It’s about survival skills. It’s about walking into the woods and knowing how to walk back out…without getting lost while each movement is carefully thought out in order to walk in silence. You have to think constantly about each step you take so you don’t step on a branch or a leaf that crackles and scares away your prey. Hunting is a life lesson, one that is surely to disappear if we don’t pay attention.

Sure, hunting is a big part of the whole experience, but there is really so much more an adult needs to instill into future hunters before they ever pick up a weapon and march off into the woods. Things like gun safety should be a first priority, hunting ethics and dealing with the death of an animal are all things we as adults need to help young sportsmen and women understand.

Without the hunt, our wildlife population would be out of control.

Similar to the farmer who must harvest his fields, our woods and forests need to be harvested as well to control our wildlife populations.

You can enjoy the sport of hunting without interacting with a real animal. Clay and skeet shooting are ways that you can still participate and get out on the range.

As a nation, we’ve lost the ability to turn the world off. To take a quiet walk in the woods to study a rare species of bird, a flower, or even an animal. To learn to love a different kind of noise, perhaps the sound of an owl, or a quail calling to its mate, or a duck announcing its incoming flight to the pond. These are all things that most are not fortunate enough to experience in their lifetime, yet they are available to us any day of the week.

Hunting isn’t so much about the end result, but about the journey.

Sitting in the woods, listening to all the sounds around you, a quiet peace and solitude comes over you.

Scope Out Quail Creek Plantation

P

ast the beaches, shopping malls and gated subdivisions is a special place where Florida still exists as nature intended.

It is a landscape unchanged from the days of Ponce de Leon and Osceola, where gnarled cypress rises up from virgin swamps and the uplands are carpeted with lush, native grasses.

One of these special places is called Quail Creek Plantation. It’s a rare and unique place where bird hunting can be enjoyed as it was meant to be.

At Quail Creek, you can comfortably traverse thousands of acres of habitat sculpted with grand oak hammocks and slash pine forests, either by an all-terrain custom golf cart or by one of their swamp buggies. The guides lead you into exciting coveys at your pace, making sure there is plenty of time to enjoy the sights, sounds and camaraderie that have made fine quail hunting so exhilarating for generations. Experience the thrill of stepping up behind a pointing dog flushing a covey of bobwhites. Stroll through fields and forests at your own pace. There’s so much more to Quail Creek than just quail hunting. They even offer Osceola turkey and continental pheasant hunts as well as dove shoots. Aim for the unforgettable.

After your day, you may decide to sit back and enjoy a cigar and a drink around the large, outdoor fire-pit or relax inside the grand 8500 square foot 16 September-October 2013

lodge, sitting by the stone fireplace. This elegant, yet rustic clubhouse has a billiard table, shuffleboard and card tables to use as you please.

Quail Creek’s shotgun complex spans many pristine acres, covered in southern pines and stately oaks. It has state-of-the-art sporting clay courses that offer over 40 shooting positions at varying levels of difficulty with sturdy towers and challenging targets. You can use their courteous trapper for assistance or make the rounds on your own with just yourself, family or friends. After shooting practice, meander into the beautiful clubhouse and browse their full line of shooting accessories, ammo, gear bags and more. A variety of shotgun rentals and exclusive Quail Creek merchandise is available as well.

As a guest in one of the private cabins, you can opt to cast a line to catch bass or tilapia in the private lake or test your shooting skills on the sporting clays course. You may even opt for just sitting on the front porch of your cabin with a good book as you watch the Spanish moss dance in the breeze.

Consider making new memories this fall.

For more information and to book your reservation, call (863) 763-2529 or email reservations@quailcreekplantation.com.

Ever since the days of the first plantations, American sportsmen have known the true joys of pursuing Bobwhite Quail. The likes of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson reveled at the sight of pointing dogs lacing back and forth across expansive fields, and the suspense of walking into the feathered whirlwind of a rising covey.

f you view the world through a telescopic camera lens vs. a rifle scope, be sure and check out Old Florida Wildlife Tours. Located about an hour or so from Indian River County, these guided photographic trips emphasize a total wildlife experience. The reserve occupies over 4,000 acres of the most picturesque and game-rich land in Florida. It is the largest wild game preserve east of the Mississippi. Nestled among age-old cabbage palm and oak hammocks, pristine piney woods and open prairies, a variety of nature calls this land home, including white-tailed deer, alligators, wild hogs, quail, turkey, ducks, dove and snipe. There are also six species of exotic deer and four species of antelope, as well as the largest herds of Asian and European water buffalo in the United States. See Florida as it used to be from your seat aboard the swamp buggy.

It’ll be an experience to remember!

Fort Drum (featured top and right), is a multi-recreational park for primitive camping, fishing, hunting (with permit) and birding. There is approximately 18,000 acres of a mix of wetlands, woods and fields. It is located west of I-95 off Highway 60.

SPECIES Dove – private land or by knowing someone that has an established field, sometimes pasture land or an old crop. Hunting License is required. Know your hunting seasons (phases).

Waterfowl – private land (or knowing someone), state management areas (permits required), public lakes such Lake Okeechobee, Blue Cypress, Lake Toho, even certain areas of the Indian River Intracoastal Waterway (always verify this information with FWC, visit www.myfwc.com to learn more). Hunting license and Federal Duck Stamp is required.

Turkey – private land and state management areas (FWC gives list). Eastern and Osceola species are in Florida. Hunting license is required.

Quail – private land, state management areas (Three Lakes of 60 –west of Vero) and hunting preserves like Quail Creek Plantation.

Quail hunting is the most common type of wing shooting on the Treasure Coast. Many people have fully trained pointers, retrievers, flushers and even tracker dogs which they hunt with. Wing shooting can be done without a dog, but if you are hunting for quail, you’ll need the assistance of a pointer to locate or find your game. Hunting license required.

Always know your hunting seasons.

FWC officer Tim Miller and K-9 Officer Patton

Deer, Hog and Alligator – All of these are traditional hunts for Floridians. When you mention hunting, most people think you are referring to these types of hunts.

Always check with FWC for specific seasons.

Alligator hunting requires hunting license and a special permit. Deer and hog hunts can be done with just a hunting license during their specific hunting season.

y teaching our youth hunting and shooting skills; we are able to introduce the next generation to the great outdoors!

A father or mentor can pass on knowledge, sportsmanship, conservation and even survival. It is important for our youth to respect the outdoors, understand the cycle of life, and preserve Mother Nature’s beauty.

Take a hunting safety course with your child, even if you’ve already completed it yourself. Be involved. Teach our youth to preserve our land, and to respect it and the wildlife that calls it home.

Young Guns of Quail Creek are a group of kids 3rd grade through 12th grade that are in a scholastic clay target shooting program. This non-profit group promotes

& teaches gun safety, clay target shooting and good sportsmanship. Kyle Kauffmann, a recent graduate of John Carroll High School, received a scholarship for Bethel University in Tennessee for his superb marksmanship.

Kyle has been addicted to shooting for the past seven years. He feels that this sport has taught him responsibility, leadership and commitment. Way to go Kyle!

Young Guns are always looking for more young adults to join the club. Check them out on Facebook for more information or call Quail Creek Plantation.

ccording to Wikipedia, a shooting sport is a competitive sport involving tests of proficiency (accuracy and speed) using various types of guns. The shooting sports are categorized by the type of firearm, target and distances at which targets are shot at.

Most people don’t consider shooting as a sport. South Florida Shooting Club is challenging that perception as it becomes Florida’s premier shooting sport destination.

Located in a rustic setting on 650 acres, this member’s only club is conveniently located just an hour away from Vero.

Did you know that hunting has one of the lowest percentages of accidents of all sports? This is because hunters, for generations, have taught gun safety from a very young age.

The drive around the expansive fields on your golf cart immediately makes you feel like you are back in old Florida.

The Club features eight lighted trap fields, three fully automated sporting clay courses, two skeet fields, five stands, FITASC parcours, and a fully automated ZZ ring. Both challenging and fun, the fields meet the needs of all levels of shooters. South Florida Shooting Club offers expert training from World Class instructors to cater to all levels of shooters.

The Clubhouse is luxurious and spacious with many amenities available to members. When you aren’t shooting, you can relax on the outdoor screened porch that is lined with flat-screen TVs or cozy up on the couch by the beautiful fireplace. In-house catering is available to members and guests.

There is also a premium Gun Room where fine, wood cabinets are stocked with exceptional guns including: Krieghoff, Fabbri, Piotti, Bosis, Beretta, and Browning, just to name a few.

View the most prestigious shotguns in the world, all in one beautiful location. You can also purchase Club merchandise, shooting attire, accessories and rent guns on site.

Membership at the club has various levels designed to suit your particular needs. You can choose to shoot with your family, your friends, in club tournaments or by yourself. You’ll never get bored shooting targets at this club! On Wednesday evenings, South Florida Shooting Club opens their facility to the public and encourages anyone interested in learning the sport to call and come on over! A cookout and various shooting stations are set up for guests to enjoy.

Doug Vine is a world class shooter. He was a winner at FITASC European Championship, the World Side-bySide Shoot, the British All-Round Championship and numerous state and zoned shoots in his shooting career. His gun of choice is a K-80, Krieghoff sporting gun. Doug offers private shooting lessons for members and non-members alike.

Leader of the Pack raining dogs is second nature to Mike Sommers. He’s the second generation to do so. Since his college graduation in 1974, Mike has trained all breeds of dogs for hunting and obedience as a professional dog trainer. His clients come from all over the nation.

Mike’s training and experience includes all phases of upland and

waterfowl hunting, obedience of all breeds, and participation in the

American Kennel Club (AKC) Hunt Tests. Mike is an expert at developing a dog’s natural assets and trains not only the dog, but also the owner/ handler. At the 2012 AKC Master National Hunt Test in Alabama, a black Labrador Retriever, Bynum’s Magnum Goose, Master Hunter, qualified and was awarded the Pewter Plate Trophy under Mike’s training and handling.

As a breeder of Labradors and English field bred Cocker Spaniels, Mike evaluates dogs for breeding with an experienced, unbiased eye.

Previously from Wisconsin where he owned and operated an all-inclusive sporting facility that included training, breeding, hunting and sporting clays, he now operates out of Jupiter, Florida.

memory lane

Have you ever been to Spook Hill in Lake Wales?

W

e decided to explore this historic little town west of Vero in search of a far more interesting tale.

What we stumbled upon was a forgotten piece of Florida history that stole our hearts. Located in the historic downtown, we noticed an 11-story, art-deco style building that was boarded up and surrounded by chain link fence. We stood in awe. The top of the building is perhaps the most beautiful, decorated with strikingly colorful tiles arranged in beautiful patterns.

As if the building could hear our silent pleas to see inside her, a man wearing a white hard hat walked out from the arched entryway. His name was Ray Brown, the current Project Manager.

What luck, right? Ray invited us to take a tour of the old hotel, educating us on the history, architectural design, original fixtures and his hopes and dreams for returning the hotel to its original grandeur. He told us that we were standing in the once famous and world renowned, Dixie Walesbilt Hotel, built in 1926.

Upon entering the lobby, we were immediately transported back in time. Stored inside this expanse of space were period pieces from the 1920’s. Sinks, faucets, chairs, tables, trunks, and chandeliers. Not only was Ray restoring the old building to its original façade, 24 September-October 2013

he was also making sure each faucet and fixture were original as well. Large, classically designed windows allowed light to pour into the room.

Corinthian columns stretched from the marble floor to the fantastically designed ceiling.

Ray plans to match everything from original paint colors to exit signs. What he can’t purchase, he intends to build.

Ray has worked on the project for over four years without any compensation or income due to the downed economy. His passion and commitment to this lost piece of Florida history is truly admirable. If you would like to visit the hotel and help Ray save this piece of our state’s history, there are many ways to do so.

Ray needs volunteers and organizations to lend a helping hand in any way your heart may guide you. Please help us help Ray! We all fell in love with the iconic Dixie Walesbilt and know you will too.

ccording to the American Urological Association, more than 50% of men over the of age of 60 will experience symptoms of BPH. Common symptoms of an enlarged prostate include: dribbling after urination, weak urinary stream, urgency, leakage, nocturia, and the feeling of being unable to completely eliminate urine.

These symptoms may be a minimal discomfort or an intense pain, which is predicted to worsen with age.

BPH is the most common benign tumor in men and as the prostate enlarges, the tissue stops it from expanding and applies direct pressure to the urethra. This irritates the lining of the bladder, which may mimic ailments of a urinary tract infection, prostate, kidney or bladder cancer.

For appropriate diagnosing of BPH, four main tests may be utilized: Digital Rectal Exam, Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Blood Test, a Cystoscopy, and the AUA Symptom Index. These methods are used to determine the size of the prostate, rule out prostate cancer, and evaluate any obstructions.

Recent research and studies have shown the benefits of acupuncture and Chinese herbal formulas in the treatment of elimination struggles associated with the prostate. Traditional Chinese Medicine treats BPH by focusing on clinical patterns of the urinary symptoms. Acupuncture can be used to improve the frequency of nocturia (urinating during the night) and relieve pain or pressure upon urination. Because Chinese Medicine is a preventative form of healthcare, treatments may vary depending on if the symptoms are a result of an acute flare-up or a chronic disorder. Most herbal formulas that treat voiding issues aim to nourish the kidney’s yin and yang energy, as well as resolve any forms of stagnation.

For more information about how acupuncture and Chinese medicine can help with prostate issues, call our office at 772-564-8383 to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Chef Damy, Bangkok14

Bangkok Makes a Come Back Successful Restaurateur Introduces a Thai Tapas, Sushi and Wine Bar

P

ittsburgh restaurateur and awardwinning Thai chef, Norraset Nareedokmai, took over his second Treasure Coast area restaurant in June, Bangkok located in historic downtown Vero, now known as Bangkok14. He also owns Bangkok In Downtown, the Fort Pierce location.

Norraset first entered the restaurant business in 2004 in Pittsburgh, where he had two restaurants. While in Pittsburgh, Nareedokmai won awards year after year and brought Thai food to an unmatched level in the restaurant scene.

In the summer of 2012, Norraset was contacted by Sarah Tipfun, the original owner 28 September-October 2013

of both Bangkok restaurants. As circumstances would have it, Norraset was running a program in Pittsburgh to help recent graduates in the hospitality industry work abroad and then return to Thailand with American restaurant experience. Norraset liked what he saw in terms of opportunity and location, and decided to enter the Treasure Coast area’s restaurant market.

Norraset’s dream was altered when the Vero Beach location caught fire and then again in October, with Ms. Tipfun’s legal difficulties.

It was not until June of this year that he was finally able to make his vision a reality by acquiring both locations of Bangkok.

Norraset takes the craftsmanship and appreciation of Florida’s fresh seafood and compliments that with the bright zesty sauces of Thai food. He brings this love and appreciation of Thai food to both locations of Bankgok14 and Bangkok in Downtown as he compliments the original, fresh, and dynamic sushi menu with a Thai tapas menu. It’s a must try!

Knees on Leaves Terrarium Necklaces

M

eet Katie O’Dare, extraordinaire! Katie makes tiny living jungles on necklaces that give your mind a place to go on recess. Under the company name, Knees on Leaves, she hand makes every micro-ecosystem.

When Katie is not in her garden, she is most likely at Full Sail University studying Digital Arts and Design, particularly 3-D modeling and motion graphics. She also enjoys stop motion photography and print design. Her studies and passion for mid-century modern design introduced her to the art of collaging nature.

Katie’s consultant and business partner is her beagle named, Tucker. He is her little terrarium assistant and best friend. They go on long walks through local forests to gather air plants and clippings from fascinating succulents. It is here that she gets her inspiration for each handmade terrarium. On each necklace and inside each petite glass vessel is a tiny rainforest that evolves over time and grows with you.

The energy from terrariums breathes life into your space. The sun shines through the vintage vase, hanging delicately from your neck, and sends glistening prisms and green visions onto nearby surfaces and all around you. It gives these necklaces a particularly magical feel!

Katie O’Dare grew up in Vero Beach. She now resides in Winter Park as she attends college.

You can follow Katie’s designs on Instagram and also watch her grow @kneesonleaves and on Etsy.

Don’t Throw it Out! Let’s refurbish it…give it new life.

H

aven’t we all found a treasure at a yard sale or auction, inherited a piece of furniture that has memories but it didn’t go with your décor or was in need of a makeover?

For over five years at Snow’s Refurnishing Department, I have seen seemingly hopeless pieces come through the front door and leave looking better than new. Let me walk you through the remaking of the piece you see featured.

This table was one of the saddest pieces we’ve had to work with. We discussed with the client what their vision was for the piece, for example,

36 September-October 2013

their preferred colors and stains. Next, we consulted with Frank and Carolyn, our amazing and talented refinishers, to ensure we achieved the ultimate look for the client. When the client decides on a final finish, a quote for the project and estimated dates of completion are given. We take out all scratches and can replace and/or repair broken parts. During the refinishing, we confirm the absolute color choices with the client before the refurbishing begins. There were many steps that went into refinishing this project, from stripping, sanding, staining and the final finish.

We take great pride in our finished product and

the end result is a beautiful piece of furniture.

However, the very best part is enjoying the gasps and smiles on the clients’ faces when they see their old junk reborn into a fabulous new piece!

Simply priceless!

Instead of throwing it out, bring it to Snow’s!

You’ll be amazed at what we can do! We not only refinish wood products, we also refinish upholstered furniture and more. Just give us a call and we’ll be happy to meet with you to discuss your vision and offer some great suggestions as well.

Local Boys Deliver Jetson brothers create a Treasure Coast mainstay.

W

hen the Jetson brothers, John and Scott, went into business together, they had one goal in mind: make enough money to buy a little boat and go fishing.

Forty years later, Jetson TV & Appliance Center has far surpassed this modest goal.

With five retail stores and two premium builder appliance centers, the goal now is “simply” customer satisfaction. But this is no easy task in today’s retail landscape.

Competing with big box stores and the Internet, coupled with economic recession, has been a challenging task for our local businesses.

So how has Jetson been able to flourish?

Like any good captain knows, when a storm approaches, it’s best to batten down the hatches and stay the course. Jetson has always focused on three tried and true methods for success: 1) Hire people that you trust to represent your brand.

2) Deliver everything you can the next day.

3) Service what you sell.

By doing so, Jetson is able to house the largest warehouse of top-name-brand appliances and 38 September-October 2013

electronics. Additionally, as of November 2012, they’ve added the full line of Serta iComfort, iSeries, and Bellagio At Home mattresses to the stock of locally warehoused products. This allows Jetson to keep their prices low (they’ll match any local competitor’s price) and keep a large amount of inventory locally in stock, ready for next day delivery. By focusing on their own backyard, they’re not only able to deliver everything in a prompt manner, but they can also quickly service the products they sell. Jetson has an in-house staff of over 40 service specialists. As John always says, “if you’re going to buy something from the national chains, you’d better keep the box because what are you going to do when it breaks, mail-in your refrigerator?”

Jetson’s tradition of commitment to customer happiness is what makes them so unique. You won’t find the big box store mentality at any Jetson store. It’s been a Treasure Coast asset since 1974! If you’re remodeling or building new, make sure you visit Jetson for all your appliance, electronics and mattress needs.

Vero Beach Yacht Club Nestled under ancient, moss-covered oaks, the Vero Beach Yacht Club is the quintessential, southern gathering place for boaters and non-boaters alike. Established in 1926, club management is always looking for new ways to delight members. The new chef, Bill Narhi, is doing just that by tweaking the traditional menu and adding innovative nightly specials.

The chef and general manager of the yacht club firmly believe that the freshest ingredients, prepared with imagination, create the most memorable meals. By blending his French inspired training with an acquired southern flair, unique spices and a comprehensive library of personal recipes, Chef Bill is updating club favorites and even adding new dishes like the New Orleans Barbeque Shrimp. Recent menu changes include more petite portions, a larger salad selection and a variety of fresh seafood options, along with an expanded wine list.

Vero Marine, circa 1970

Let’s go boating!

F

rom a family vacation on a cruise ship, to an offshore fishing trip, to the serenity of a solo paddle on the river in a kayak, people are drawn to the water. Only boating has the universal appeal that crosses and encompasses all ages and interests. Boating satisfies the soul and the mind, providing a true means of escape and “getting away from it all.” The water soothes, heals, brings us together and makes us smile.

It makes for the best memories. A raft-up on the Fourth of July becomes a family tradition for generations. A weekend gathering on an island can be a social rejuvenation for friends and family.

The best two days of a boater’s life? Saturday and Sunday of course!

We live in a boater’s paradise; a seaside town with great inshore and offshore waters to satisfy every kind of boater. People dream of boating and setting sail off into blue skies, warm air and calm waters; and we in Vero Beach get to live that dream! Once saltwater begins to flow through your veins, the hope for a cure is slim. Boaters will go boating!

Not long after Ernest Hemmingway wrote The Old Man And The Sea, Vero Beach’s first “boat store” opened at the foot of the old Barber Bridge on what was then Route 60 and the only access to the barrier island in Indian River County.

The boats and boaters that had come to Vero Beach from other locales now had a homeport.

Vero Marine Center was born from a passion for the water, one that is still alive and well today.

The crew at Vero Marine Center shares this passion. We too have “saltwater in our veins” and look forward to our time spent on the water with our family and friends. There is no better lifestyle I know of where everyone is included.

Healthy, relaxing, adventurous and satisfying are words I hear used to describe a day on the water. To live where we live and not take the time to enjoy the water is to certainly miss out on something others only get to dream about. So live the dream! Breathe in the salt air!

Enjoy the Ride!

beach safety BE AWARE OF TIDES: Always be aware of the tides when you are at the beach. Respect the ocean and stay safe.

5 year old Katie, proud owners, Lydia, age 4 and Doug Vine

TAKE YOUR TRASH OFF THE BEACH: Remove all your trash from the beach and find a trash can. Plastic bags can kill birds, turtles, and other sea creatures that can mistake the bag for food. Bring extra trash bags with you and do your part to help keep the beach beautiful.

Love your ocean!

SUPERVISE CHILDREN: Stay near your children and keep your eye on them. Never let children play in the water unsupervised. Play close to a lifeguard station. Teach your child to respect the ocean too.

BE AWARE OF DANGEROUS RIP TIDES: Rip tides are strong currents that can pull a person away from the shore. If you get caught in a rip current, do not panic or struggle. Swim parallel to the beach and call for help. Never swim alone. Don’t swim out farther than you can swim back.

It’s always best to swim near a lifeguard station.

REPORT INJURED BIRDS OR MAMMALS: If you find an injured bird or mammal, do not touch it. Call 911 (non-emergency) and they will notify the proper authorities.

RESPECT THE WILDLIFE: Remember to do the “Stingray Shuffle” when entering shallow water to warn any stingrays that you’re coming

into their territory! It’s always a good idea to keep a small bottle of vinegar in your beach bag to quickly treat jellyfish stings. If snorkeling, be sure not to stand on or touch any reefs or wrecks. Respecting the wildlife helps ensure a successful beach day.

LIFEGUARDS: Several places throughout the county offer lifeguarded beaches. At each station, signs are available to notify beach goers of current surf conditions along with appropriate beach flag warnings.
