Beachgoers Return To Cocoa Beach And Leave 13,000 Pounds Of Trash

Authorities in Cocoa Beach are not happy right now.

As coronavirus restrictions begin to ease in the state, people have returned to many beaches. But over 13,000 pounds of trash was left behind and cleaned up on Cocoa Beach last weekend, less than a month after it reopened on April 21.

As a result, officials are cracking down on littering, increasing fines and enforcement. Littering in Cocoa Beach can now fetch offenders a $250 fine and officials want the public to know that they will be out in full force making sure nobody leaves any more trash behind.
