They say they are fishin for **** you name it. But sand sharks (who can take your toes or your baby's foot), predatory fish, really don't care, they will come in for the bait.
The Hunting Island beach as well as BIG TIME Coligny Beach really ticks me off. When Andy was little, I had NO problem telling the phisherpeople to move off, idiot, there are KIDS HERE!
Dang! Would find pickemup trucks with beds full of sharks caught at the swimming beaches.
Nope. Didn't tolerate that.

When you shake the sand out of your blanket, check to see which way the wind is blowing and see if anyone else is going to get a face full of your sand.

don't play your music, or talk so loud that I can hear it on my blanket. All I want to hear is the sound of the surf. Thank you.

Get off of the beach... You are ruining MY view of the ocean....

If you were THAT concerned about your baby's toes, you would never have put them in the ocean to start with.
Who is going to remove the Sting Rays, Jellyfish, Bluefish, Large Turtles and all of the other potential harmful things in the ocean?
Let's stop airplanes from flying overhead... Boats from passing the beach... People from bringing food to the beach that could attract rabid raccoons...

Look at it this way... If the fisherman did not catch these sharks they would still be there waiting on you to put your toes in the water.

Try going to a POOL next time.....
Now have a great day....

One of the things that has always bothered me when I have gone to the beach is the inconsideration of females that usually age in range from about 22 to 40, although some of the offenders are younger and older. I have noticed that a lot of other people, male and female, often appear to be bothered as well, but few ever say anything thing about it. It must be the universal politeness that pervades our society.

What I am referring to are the very skimpy bathing suits and beach attire that some females don to go to the beach. It is obviously not very healthy given the occurrence of skin cancer in our society, not to mention heat exhaustion and/or heat stroke. Yet, I have never seen a caring man or woman ever approach any of these females to suggest that they put on more clothing. Lots of stares and looks are given, but no one says a thing.

The whole thing has gotten a bit out of hand if you ask me. A couple of years ago when I was on the beach in Jamaica, the woman lying on a beach chair next to me was wearing a two piece bathing suit that seemed modest enough. All of a sudden she removed the top of her suit and I was appalled that she would expose such obviously sensitive white skin to the intense rays of the sun. Without getting into the physics of the situation, suffice it to say that she was placing her self in grave danger.

Of course being the gentleman that I aspire to be, I didn't want to say anything to offend this woman, but I did keep an eye on her after great deliberation, and having decided to throw caution to the wind and say something if I noticed any reddening or other danger signs. Fortunately, none of the signs appeared, but I remained vigilant and armed with a bottle of sun screen for application if necessary. I felt as though it was the least that I could do given the situation. BTW, I now always carry sun screen for such emergencies.

Although I am not sure that this qualifies as rudeness per se, it sure can be an emotional and somewhat disturbing experience.

One of my biggest complaints is when people don’t pick up their trash! Now, I’m a frequent visitor to the down town sand bar and it irks me so much when people just let their empty beer cans, plastic cups, etc. just float away. Put your trash somewhere on your boat where it is secure! Food ~ well, that’s a little more excusable b/c the crabs will eat the chicken bones. But seriously! Put your cans/cups/plastic bags/etc. somewhere on your boat, not in the river. Our river is not a trash dump! I watched a guy throw his empty beer can in the water once and I just wanted to grab that can and smash in on his forehead! “here I believe this is yours” Moron! Of course, that was just my mental fantasy…I simply walked over and got his can and put it in my boat.

I don't know about the skimpy bathing suits. What year is it? If the complaint is not wearing enough, it's their rep that's at stake. It's none of my business. I'm not there for anyone else but myself and to enjoy relaxing. And do please think about shaking your sand infested towel away from others. Throw away your trash. It's not that hard.
And please don't bring your dog if they are barkers. Other people bring their dog who are inside a house all day. Only to find that at the beach someone else's dog can't stop barking, which upsets your dog, making all the other dogs bark, frustrates the other dog owners, etc etc.... Fish away from others, our society has forgotten what it means to be considerate of other people. (ie people who love to talk loud on their cell phones so everyone can here it, I don't want to hear your conversations, "he said she said, blah blah blah) And getting back the skimpy bathing suit comments, Paaaalease, being concerned for sunburns or skin cancer. Just put on sunglasses so they can't tell that the real reason your looking is because you like looking, and you know it! If someone thin or not thin wants to wear a skimpy bathing suit, more power to them. I wished I was that bold. And lastly, and directed to those at pools, your conversations can be heard.
When talking about someone at the pool, keep it down, don't be so obvious and as we learned at children, don't stare! It's just rude!
