Another Fan Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Here in NJ, the Jersey Shore is very popular. I might make it a few times during the week in the summer when it’s not as crowded as the weekends. Hold off on the Snooki jokes ? Elsewhere are they common by the Lakes?

frostbitmic Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) I went to what used to be a beach last week but the water levels of Lake Ontario left no beach anymore. This was at Durand. Edited July 17, 2019 by frostbitmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as beaches common here? These are some of the beaches.

Seasons1992 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I can't stand the beach anymore. Having said that.........if there's a bar near the water, I can do that. But going to the beach, laying or sitting on sand, and spending ALL DAMN DAY there? Hard nope from me. I don't hate the water, just the beach lifestyle. I'm taking the kids to Chautauqua next Sunday for a few days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatnot78 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Go to NC to a beach every year for 2 weeks. Fishing poles, beer and a chair is all I need. Kids are old enough to let me sit back and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) I'm pretty much off beaches since I was stung by jelly fish in S.C. in '12 and FL in '16. Luckily, I carry an Epipen, as I am forever finding out in my golden years I'm growing more allergic to many things in nature, including shrubbery.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 As an adult I went to the beaches in Va, OBX snf Key West for over 2 decades in the 80's through the early 2000's Once we moved to Florida I hardly went to the beach. Now I make it there once every 4 or 5 years. Of course living in Rochester ... I was at the beaches of Lake Ontario most weekends. Of course living in Seabreeze ..

Steve O Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 30 years ago we would play 2-man volleyball almost every day at Charlotte beach in Rochester.

plenzmd1 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 man, as a kid we vacationed at Veranda Beach every year..my old man always said the price could not be beat!

Bad Things Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) We go to our local beach (Tahunanui Beach) at least every Saturday and Sunday morning. It's our weekend thing. Wake up early, grab a couple cups of coffee, load up the dog and spend an hour or two walking on the beach. We're spoiled for choice here on Tasman Bay. The beaches of the Abel Tasman National Park (across the bay) are some of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen, however Wharariki Beach is my favourite beach in the world. Jeez, why the heck am I at work right now?? Edited July 17, 2019 by Bad Things 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hate it. Never. Okay. Maybe not never. Beaches are human cesspools. Look at the guy who just got vibrio down in Florida.

snafu Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 The only good thing about Long Island are the beaches. They're really good beaches. I love to book out of work early, scoop up whoever's available from home, pack a couple sandwiches and beer and get out to the beach at around 4:00. We stay until just around dusk.

Great volleyball scene was developing in Rochester with Cal and the PACE teams back then. On topic, go to the beach often during the summer and my parents live on Lake Erie not too far from Crystal Beach. Great beaching there.

We lived in Hilton Head Island, SC and Sarasota, FL for 30 years. I usually only went to the beach when company came to town. Many moons ago I’d run my Goldens off leash in HHI, but those days are long gone. Toward the end when I knew we were leaving FL, I’d skip out on more work and head to the beach any time I was close. I didn’t want to leave there. Friends from church would do a big beach cookout around sunset monthly. Made many close friends there, some of them joining us for a cruise from Spain to Portugal leaving next month. (I’ll probably reference that Windstar trip a couple dozen more times before leaving, I’m looking forward to the trip and the reunion.) We went back to Hilton Head a few weeks ago, as we do every year or two. I met my wife there, our kids were born there, and much of my family is buried there. I went to the beach, but it wasn’t at the top of my list of things to do. But it was awesome! . Edited July 18, 2019 by Augie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) Or annual week trip to Carolina Beach, NC is the highlight of our year. We get a condo right on the ocean. It's a terrific spot. Water is warm and clean and rental prices are still affordable. We might do a day trip to Hampton Beach, NH occasionally. It's only 45 minutes from the house. It's usually crowded and the water temperature is still cold enough to kill you, even in July. Plus the boardwalk is tacky.

It's a wake up call. And too many people moving to coasts. Can't sustain the numbers. Time to take two feet and move back to where they came from. States like Florida have to stop incentiveizing moving there. The environment can't handle the population explosion... The infrastructure, like sewage treatment can't handle it either... Especially when the burden falls on the rest of the states. Stop going to these fithy beaches and tourism will dry up... Maybe they will stop relying on the Fed to pay and they will institute a state income tax. All of Central Florida is handled down the Mid-Florida Ridge and processed out Okeechobee... No wonder it's a cesspool... People at Disney have to take a dump... It's gotta go somewhere! It's a tug of war. States like Florida leach off the Federal government... Then the Fed has to pander to corporations, big Ag like Big Sugar to recoup an economic benefit for the rest of the nation. No wonder the beachs are filthy down there... Choked with toxic algae... ...It simply starts with too many people in too small an area. We need to stop making it an incentive to move there. /end_filthy_beach_rant LoL...
