Park rangers have had to turn into unofficial bouncers at one of the country’s most popular beaches as throngs of people gather to spend their evenings drinking, socialising. and littering.
“The sad reality is that Golden Bay has become the new Paceville,” Majjistral Park Ranger and environmental activist Cami Appelgren observed.
Over the past weekends, the Majjistral Park Rangers have collected dozens of garbage bags besides having to assist people in need of first aid after the break-out of drunk fights.
Since bars closed back in October and the weather warmed up, Golden Bay is filled with people bringing with them take-away food and drinks, which leads to an increase in littering.
