7 inch tar balls in Stuart...
"People are finding it right up in the wet sand area and it’s kind of unusual because in the last few years we haven’t seen a lot of tar on our beaches," says Perry.
The last time beach visitors had to battle tar balls was back in 2002, a problem fisherman suspect came from an offshore drilling operation.

Saturday, a Vero Beach man and his wife discovered dozens of "tar pancakes" on the sand and in the water.
Michael and Jenny Risley said they made the discovery during their usual Saturday walk from Jaycee Beach to Humiston Beach.
He was concerned enough to bring the tar samples to a lifeguard at Jaycee Beach.
"They said they had been lifeguarding for 8 years and they had never seen anything like this on the beach before," said Risley.

Coast Guard Captain Patrick DeQuattro, at Coast Guard Station Key West, said the tar balls they found "range from the Dry Tortugas to 70 miles west to Key West to roughly the Marathon area, Bahia Honda State Park. Exposure to that type tar balls across approximately a hundred miles of the Florida Keys is unusual. I've been here a year. I've not had that type of exposure yet."
