Sally and Austin Daugherty of Nashville sit in the shallow water of the Gulf of Mexico just off the shore of the public beach in Dauphin Island, Ala., Thursday, May 27, 2010. Tourists still dot the white sand beaches, which have remained clean of any signs of oil from the ongoing Deepwater Horizon oil leak. Alabama Governor Bob Riley has been combating the image of fouled shorelines, urging the public to head to the state’s beaches.
