Last time I was at the beach was 4th of July. I mostly looked at it from the boardwalk because it was one of those horrible towns that charges for beach passes. I waited until almost sunset to walk the beach when they stop checking for tags. That's better for me anyway, because there are fewer people at that hour, and I can have lots of space where I'm not stepping over people and their junk.

@FaeLuna Charging for beach passes is just dumb and ridiculous.

@TeirdalinFirefall Yeah, it's just a huge money grab by the towns. I find it pretty insulting that they would charge for something that's just naturally there, and not even have the money go to maintain it.

@FaeLuna That's the thing. If you're charging for that shit, it had better be a VERY well-maintained beach with regular staff taking care of it.

@FaeLuna most use it to pay the lifeguards

@GerOttman I knew some of those lifeguards a few years ago. They were not paid anywhere near enough for the amount of money coming in from those tags. They don't even pay people to clean it; there's a volunteer organization of citizens that does it. It's just pure greed, is what it is.
