Joshuanette Francis, founder of Good Humans, has set out on a mission to discover all 365 beaches on the island. At 24, she was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis, and her doctors suggested low-impact exercises, including swimming.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Francis says that if she has to swim, she is going to take a dip in all 365 beaches.<\/p>\n

Her diagnosis is not keeping her back, and it has inspired her quest. Francis says she has done a tour of the island and, so far, has located 250 beaches.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The mission, now, is to visit all of them, she says \u2013 and, in the process, she hopes she will stumble upon the others that make up the 365. She notes, however, that many of the areas that locals classify as beaches actually are not.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

While the beaches visited so far were very beautiful and serene, Francis says that a few \u2013 about 30 per cent of them \u2013 are not in the best state and require a bit of cleaning.<\/p>\n

She says that people should be more responsible about disposing of their waste when using the beach. To this end, she suggests they carry along garbage bags or other receptacles that can hold waste and then take their trash back home with them.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

She warns that leaving unsecured garbage on the beach \u2013 where it can get into the water \u2013 could have dire consequences on the environment and marine life.<\/p>\n

According to Francis, even on the island\u2019s hiking trails, there is a proliferation of garbage, which she says is despicable<\/p>
