The aftermath of a huge beach party at Papamoa last night has shocked regular beach walker Betty Knight.
"It is disgusting, the worst I have ever seen," she told the Bay of Plenty Times this morning.
"Bottles, cans and rubbish were strewn everywhere," Mrs Knight said.
The mess littered a large area of beach and dunes halfway between Sunrise Ave and Sandhurst Drive.
The litter included broken bottles. "It is positively dangerous," she said.
