On the afternoon of July 4, Florida Oil Spill Law was informed that hundreds of tar balls washed ashore in Jensen Beach near Walton Rocks. A photo showed a stack of several dozen. The discovery was made by a local surfer who is familiar with the beach and has not encountered tar there previously.
After arriving on scene around 5:00pm, approximately 10 tar balls were personally identified and photographed. Below are several examples. After around 20 minutes searching, it began to rain and the search was cut short.

What`s up with those shells?
Wow, this site has stooped to a new low. Local attorneys profiting on the back of the oil spill. Creating a website that spins news stories and claims from individuals about “tar ball sitings). I question the “finding” of tar balls on Jensen Beach. No other reports have surfaced regarding gulf oil on Jensen Beach. I live and work on Hutchinson Island and the beaches are clean. Shame on you foridaoilspilllaw.com!!!!!
