"BP capped the oil spill six weeks ago, but Florida residents have lingering concerns about the quality of beaches.
The majority of Floridians surveyed in an AAA Consumer Pulse survey, or 92 percent, said they were concerned about the long-term quality of Gulf of Mexico waters for swimming. About 89 percent had concern about the future attractiveness of beach sand.
Half the respondents said they planned to visit a Florida beach over Labor Day weekend, but only 6 percent plan to visit a Panhandle beach."
