I live in OB and the only oil they have are tar balls and they clean them up as soon as they wash up. There is oil offshore but they don't expect it to come ashore. Hope that helps the beaches are not closed and the oil smell is not bad.

Go to gulfshores .com they have an oil update daily. It says that beaches are open for sunbathing and walking but there is a swimming advisory for the gulf.

Thanks for the updates. I'm headed down to Orange Beach for the 4th. I hope the oil stays out in the gulf for all states and the well gets shut down.

Been in perdido key since Friday and I haven't seen any sign or smell of oil, beaches are packed with folks and everything is as it should be. We will be here till friday. I hope for everyones sake here that it stays away.
