Went to the "Redneck Riviera" for the first time. This is a sandbar just across from John's Pass in Madeira Beach in the intercoastal. What a blast! People had volleyball nets set up, playing football, blenders going, music playing. What a great spot. Even had a manatee swim by.

This place is a blast! A great time, just like Shell Island USED to be! Lots of boats, music, volleyball & good times!

Like this place too. Most people party but are respectful to others & to the area. Never see any bottles or trash floating around. Though I have seen quite a lot of "too young" people drinking & carrying on. Just hope the one driving the boat is responsible enough to get these kids home safely. Great place for kids & dogs too!!

Been hearing rumors that they might shut this favorite spot down also. Want to make it a bird sanctuary I believe. Funny thing is that most everyone hangs out on the sandbar part, not on the actual islands. So ban the islands from boats but leave the sandbar open to us! Man, who the hell makes these laws anyways? I need to make sure to not vote for them next election!!

This really pisses me off! Obviously these bird lovers don't have children & have no outdoor life whatsoever. Nothing better to do than to think of more things to keep the average American from enjoying themselves! Don't take me wrong, I have nothing against the preservation of wildlife but come on now. I don't live by the Redneck Riviera but I've seen the same thing happen up by me. Hey, maybe they'll close our parks soon too - gotta protect those squirell!

Gotta find a happy medium between wildlife & people. If they shut this place down, another place will be found to anchor up to.

Case in point - went here this past 4th of July weekend. It was absolutely packed out there. Not once did I see a beer bottle or any other trash float by. People seemed to be partying hard, but respectfully. The worst thing I saw was a plastic patio chair that tried to get away from its owner float by LOL. It found a new home quickly.
