As you can imagine, the post left the internet wondering whether walking on beaches is even safe anymore. While many shared similar experiences, others raised concerns about civic sense and questioned how people can be so careless towards other people.
“Before teaching 1+1 in school. We must teach empathy and civic sense. Rest will follow later,” one user shared his views.
Sharing a similar incident, a netizen wrote in the comments, “We encountered the same situation in August 2025 at the beach adjacent to Caravella resort . My colleague wanted to collect conch shells for his daughter but we were greeted with Hunter, KF Ultra and Elephant Strong bottles. He did get the shells and we segregated a few bottles and handed them over to the resort staff.”
“It has become so risky to walk barefoot on beaches,” one of the comments read.
“India has a lot of beautiful places, but almost all of them have been ruined by such people. Everywhere I went, I found litter, broken bottles, and uncivilized behavior. People creating a nuisance completely bring down the vibe and overall experience of these places,” another travel lover shared their experience.
“Same happened with my dad in Vizag. Common sense isn’t that common,” another user wrote.
