Long Trash Beach: if you take a walk, you'll see that the beach is just one big garbage dump. The resorts only keep their own areas clean; you can see the rest in the photos. If you visit, take your trash with you.

The beach itself is large and beautiful. Unfortunately, it's full of trash and it doesn't look like anyone is going to clean it up. What a shame.
