This is why I go to Spring Lake, NJ - you aren't even allowed food on the beach! You bring a cooler, leave it up on the boardwalk (no one bothers it), and then when you want food, you go up and eat on the boardwalk and come back down the beach.

When I'm riding my bike down Ocean Ave from Manasquan to Asbury, my favorite thing is noticing the families who are bringing a truckload of shit to the beach
Families do this in so cal too, but granted the spots for firepits where people usually do it are back from the water. I'm okay with this as long as you aren't taking up a bunch of space close to the water.
I don't like it but I can understand it. Especially if it is a large group of people. What I can't stand is leaving the beach and not picking up after yourself. People get very offended when you call them out for leaving there trash behind.

Jeremy and Lisa are not allowed at the beach. Don't even show your face around here. I will fucking end you both, stay away from my kid. Seriously, you two, do not test me. Do NOT.
