🚨 RECKLESS BEACH ACTIVITY 🚨
Disturbing news to come to light via Coolum & North Shore Coast Care this morning with reports of a trail bike rider tearing up the dunes at Sunshine Beach. Details below from Coast Care 👇
“Young guy on a trail-bike has been seen tearing up the dunes on his bike at Sunshine/Sunrise beach which is highly illegal. Also, very disappointing when volunteers work tirelessly trying to restore dunes. Turtle nesting season is quickly approaching so we need the dunes in tact for the turtles to nest safely. Shorebirds are presently nesting on dunes as well.”
Please report any behaviour like this to the police on 131 444.
