Beach Cleanup

I'm new to the Waveland Area, so I'm not sure if atv's are allowed on the beach or not. I know that they are out there now, because of the oil clean up and I've seen tracks for them too. But again- it could just be from the oil spill. I'm hoping that the efforts to stop the oil are not in vain and that soon we will all enjoy the beach like we did years ago when we lived here. We did walk the beach the other night and the kids enjoyed it. I only live a mile from the beach, and my yard has sand in it, so my floor stay sandy! Now I know why they put down tile all over the floor. I'll have to keep a cleaning routine in tact so I can keep the dirt levels DOWN! I want to have a clean home, but I want it lived in too! No need in it being spotless! We do have kids! It has been years since I rode on ATV, but I loved it then and I'm sure I'd love it now! In fact when we first got our playstation 2 that was my favorite game on there! I enjoyed playing the game as if it were ME riding! Lord knows I was never able to do all those tricks and jumps like they do on the game, but it was fun to pretend!
