While Mississippi so far has been relatively unaffected by the BP (NYSE:BP) oil spill, Florida and others can't say the same, as a popular Florida beach near the Alabama border was closed on Thursday.
A stretch on Pensacola Beach named Casino Beach, about a quarter of a mile long, was closed after oil washed up along the shore.
The beach usually has hundreds of people enjoying the sand and water, but after the closing, only a couple of people were seen enjoying the sun on the beach.
That was the bottom line for other beaches that were left open. While people could sit in the sun there, it was recommended by health officials that they don't fish or swim in the areas.

F-ing ridiculous. This is HUGE and BP is doing nothing. WHY isn't mainstream media banging down their doors and screaming blood murder? This is an embarrassment that America, one of the riches countries in the world, can't SHUT down ONE LEAKY OIL HOLE!
It looks to ruin the entire Gulf of Mexico. Crippling many industries in that area. This will make the land cheap and the oil and chemical industries can buy it all up for shipping. Hmmmm...
