WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Should the city continue to fund emergency beach restoration projects on Holiday Isle?
Yes, Holiday Isle is a tourism engine that benefits all of Destin with bed taxes
Yes, they are our neighbors and they need help
No, the beach keeps eroding, and we are flushing our money away
No, it is their private property and they should pay for more sand
Who cares?
