Bermuda’s beautiful trash of Tobacco Bay

Today on my last day in Paradise, while riding a scooter I rented and successfully crashed yesterday, I came across this tiny, incredibly beautiful beach on Saint George’s Island called Tobacco Bay. I just had to stop at the top of the hill to snap few photos before heading down for a close up experience. You may say that based on my previous beach trash discoveries I should have totally expected to find trash on this beach as well, but I didn’t! For some reason I was not thinking about trash at all, maybe I am sick and tired of it? So once I came down to the beach I was in for a shock! Such a beautiful bay but almost entirely covered with trash. I just couldn’t believe my eyes. I am glad this beach was not cleaned up and I was able to document it the way it is. Beach clean ups are great and absolutely necessary but in a way they are not much different from swiping it under the rug. So thanks to the beach cleanups most people never get to see the extent of the plastic pollution problem. By the way, I am not suggesting that we shouldn’t do beach cleanups, of course
