“Sometimes I look on Google Maps for nice places to take pictures. Well, the other day I saw Palmer’s Island Lighthouse on Google and it looked beautiful. You’d think growing up in New Bedford I’d know about this place, right? Nope. Never noticed it.
I’ve walked the barrier and such but never noticed the small island you can walk to. So, I and Tyler go exploring and this is all the stuff we saw. Minus the tampons, Used condoms, Dead animals, and pounds and pounds of trash. If anywhere needs a cleanup… it’s this place. I’m doing a little research now and I see there was a clean up back in 2014. Maybe we can spread the word and get this place cleaned up again.
Surprisingly, Lots of families walking around this place. Maybe they didn’t look as deep as we did because it does seem like such a beautiful area. But I was wrong. Definitely not taking advice from google maps anymore.
This is just the stuff that I noticed, It’s sad and I’m not posting this to spread hate on New Bedford. This is more of a warning to all the future parents thinking about bringing their kids here.” -Lexie’s Photography.
