A sheen of oil from the Gulf of Mexico spill is nearing the white sand beaches of north-west Florida, officials say.
The slick, containing thousands of tar balls, is only nine miles (15km) from Pensacola on the Florida "panhandle".
"It's inevitable that we will see it on the beaches," said Keith Wilkins, an Escambia County official.
