Gulf of Mexico Transocean Oil Leak Incident – Owner Update 5/17/2010
All 26 miles of South Walton County beaches remain open and unaffected by the ongoing oil leak. The oil slick does not pose an immediate risk to our beaches.
The oil siphon technique that was employed on Friday has shown some signs of success although it is still too early to tell if this will be the technique that is ultimately used to mitigate the leak.
Calls related to cancellation requests have dropped considerable over the last few days and we are still seeing interest from potential guests. Memorial weekend is shaping up to be another busy day at the beach!
We will continue to monitor this situation and keep you posted if anything changes. Again, the beaches are oil free and open for vacationer’s enjoyment!
Stay tuned for future updates and announcements!
