Any beachgoers out there? Share your memories or bad experiences at the beach. It's almost summer!

I've been going to the beach the last couple summers. Watching people play volleyball and some intense swims in the lake. It's a lot of fun and I look forward to it every summer now. I hadn't gone in years up until a couple years ago.

the beach is fun, but it can be draining, worked in Ocean City all last summer, and did the beach maybe 3 times, and was done after June

I live a few minutes walk from the beach. It's not a great beach. But yeah. Beaches. Everyone should live by the beach. Mmm. Beach.

Life's a beach and then you die

I rarely hang out on beaches, but when I was like 14 we were on the coast.

There was this bunch of 20+ year old chicks, all topless on the beach..I was lucky that day. You can just imagine, at that age...holy shit that was cool

I was at Dunkirk beach during the evacuation with the nazis biting at our ass. There was no sunbathing or surfing that day. (joke)

EVOLghost · 05.23.2011, 03:20 PM

I haven't been to the beach in a long time....I should probably go sometime.........

Bingo.

Anyone near Venice in LA, or the Jersey shore? Both places are filled with interesting people. Sometimes it's better to just watch what people are doing.

I sometimes see this guy skating around. He's kind of a local legend, I suppose.

That dude who skates around Venice is more of a celebrity than I thought:

I was at the beach over the weekend. Didn't see anything weird.

THE BEACH =

- sun poisoning for albinos (like myself)
- exhaustion from trekking across sandy terrain
- sand in crevices of your body you were unaware heretofore existed
- screaming children. No matter how empty the beach appears, always screaming children.
- dangerous and often injurious litter left behind from other beachgoers; my personal favorite, glass shards and cigarette butts
- more sand
- fowl waste
- aggressive and frightening birds that produce aforementioned fowl waste
- the tinny sound of surrounding beachgoers' inevitably shitty music
- stickiness. Sunscreen, melting popsicles, the screaming children (entirely sticky by nature)
- more sand
- if you are imbibing alcohol, an unpleasant acceleration of the intoxication process
- if you are not imbibing alcohol, a desire to be intoxicated
- annoying fitness gurus jogging the length of the shore, flaunting their self-perceived athleticism, internally contemplating their superiority over those of us who are simply lounging on the sand
- the inevitable sighting of couples strolling hand in hand along the water, apparently feeling the need to bring every personal ad ever written in America to life
- bit more sand

I will not be visiting the beach this summer.
