Reader-submitted story and photos. The Mirror has been told of this by several other people, but this is the first time we have had visual proof.
When I see a golf cart on the beach, it makes my blood boil.
I watched this guy and his lady friend with their golf cart on the beach. She was posing like a model and he was taking her pic. He turns around and looks like he was peeing on the beach. He saw me and started dancing and continued to pee. Then he sped off. Doing doughnuts and driving reckless on the beach.
I would have called the police but everyone knows they don’t get to work on Sunday until 9am. and this was at 6:45am.
The whole time I watched the guy driving like a fool, I said to myself, if he gets stuck I’m not helping him. Well, I saw where he got on and off the beach by little Neptune, but he wasn’t stuck.
When I got closer, I could see that he wrecked. He was going so fast that he loss lost control and landed on the side in the roadway. It looked like he skinned up his arm and leg.
I won’t say that karma is a bitch, but don’t screw around on our beach. The forces of nature are powerful! ( Yes, I did call the Sheriff’s department).But I hope I put a little light on what laws need enforcement.
I still feel bad for the boy and his dog.

Dude looks like he needs to do a bit more walking.
Dude ? So cool . Not .
Years ago I lived in Florida by a beach that allowed sand buggies … until a couple sun bathing were run over and killed . Only then were motor vehicles outlawed .
This article should be a wake-up call for CC .
It appears that the golf carts are going to be an issue. I have seen people driving their carts on Stone toad going to the brewery. That puts them in the 40mph zone and also in a portion of the 55 mph area. There is no sign showing the end of the cart zone as there is on Old Cape Charles road. They are ignoring stop signs and driver age restrictions as well. Police should be more involved.
When he turns in the golf cart they should be able to figure out who he is. It’s a shame that people who claim to be adults don’t act like it.
Is this the new normal? I think it was Thursday night, maybe Wednesday, about 11:00PM, a group of four seemingly very drunk young folks were driving a golf cart at high speed (for a cart) on the beach, laughing like maniacs, doing circles on the tidal flats, splashing merrily through the low points still filled with bay water. If a cart were to get stuck in the sand, the environmental damage would be substantial with all that battery acid leaking into the bathing area at high tide and the wreck being an attractive nuisance for kids. I don’t doubt that it is fun to drive on the beach, but we need to get this under control – a golf cart on the beach is much more dangerous than a dog!
Maybe a single or double metal post at each entry crossover to the beach….wide enough for kayaks but not golf carts. My worry would be these morons would drive around the post and thru the dune grass..
Maybe Golf Carts should be kept on the Golf Course. There is no reason for them to be used any place else.
Except Americans like the dude in the picture, who incidentally could make some big bucks selling advertising on his wide back-side. are now too obese and weak to be able to walk more than a few feet, so the golf carts have become a necessity if they are to get from one end of the street to the other.
Saw this couple on the beach today!!
