100606 - Pensacola Beach, FL - Tommy Burns, who has lived in Pensacola all his life, picks up tar balls on the Gulf Islands National Seashore. With fewer crowds, the beach has not received the attention of the popular beaches and several days of tar balls were piled on the beach. As BP continues to try to cap the worst oil spill in US history, the threat to Florida's shoreline is imminent. Tar balls have been washing ashore around Pensacola Beach. Some Georgians are not venturing to the coast while others are taking their chances. Sun, June 6, 2010 Bob Andres bandres@ajc.com
