Beach Spreading

stopped by seacrest this morning to take a look at the surf conditions. A guess the 12x12 tent under the 20x20 tarp is not enough shade.

Wow! Is that a customary use beach or a public one? Either way, that is over the top.

Is that flammable material?

True customary use (assuming it actually exists) across our beaches might not be so controversial IF the uses/activities were clearly defined and enforced AND people quit trying to find ways around the rules on a routine basis. It would be a tremendous asset if a very restricted use (similar to the customary use sole uses) existed across ALL of the beaches, both public and private. Most of the current customary use SOLE uses are fairly acceptable to many, if not most, beachfront owners and even to a large percentage of the public. The problem is that some definitions are not adequately defined (this can be difficult) and there simply are not enough code enforcement officers on duty at a time to expeditiously enforce the existing rules. While signs are not popular, they are another way of informing/educating the public. The picture in the original post of this thread is a great example of people constantly pushing the boundaries of whatever rules are set for the beach.
