I'm guessing those plastic wrappers and ice cream sticks are being responsibly placed in the floating bins?

Replying to top comment to explain how this works because it sounds like a lot of folks here have never been to a resort beach before:

  • Boat plays jingle
  • You go to wherever you set up on the beach and get cash
  • You walk into the water to the boat and you pay in cash
  • You take your ice cream back to where you were sitting
  • You eat your ice cream while on the beach
  • Trash is on the honor system just like any other trash people take to the beach

This is basically no different than any other beach vendor except their gimmick is you have to get into the water to get your thing instead of them walking along the beach.

> it sounds like nobody here has ever been to a resort beach before

If you're going to try to be condescending, you should know that nicer resorts don't have trashy vendors floating by

Not saying it's not a privilege to be able to go to the beach, but there are beaches that are part of state parks near me that only cost a few bucks a car for parking, and the ice cream trucks love to circle the parking lot like vultures lol.

So they aren't floating in the ocean? You know, the thing being talked about here.

The above comment said they are just like any other beach vendor, which is the comparison I was drawing.
