NYT: Reining In Beach-Spreading, Not to Be Confused With Manspreading

Never saw anything to this extent at Fort Lauderdale beach (but then again but I barely go to the beach) but I don't see a big deal over it.

People cook out at the beach all the time. It's like the best place to have a family gathering.
 
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

What are the ski lifts in the background of the photo for?

Some of the bigger boardwalks have sky rides that go from end to end. Easy way to make tourist money

Ha! This is my family to a T. We went to Ocean City, Md last month carrying four car loads of junk: Canopy, blankets, stroller, coolers, etc.

Our only saving grace is that we do roll 15-20 deep and we use every inch of beach that we claim.

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.

Who the fuck eats on the beach? Sand would get in everything. Most beaches I've been to have food areas with benches and grills behind the dunes.

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.

“We had a guy last year bring in a coffin,” said Mayor Anthony Vaz of Seaside Heights. “I’m not lying, a wooden coffin with his food and his drinks and so forth. And we said, ‘No we can’t have that.’’’

And that was the last time Mark Calloway ever set foot on that beach, let me tell you.
