Wonderful family vacation...discouraged by beach issues

[30A Skunkape]

The tourists are bringing more crap down in general. Those racks that hitch to the back of SUVs to create more carrying space are now seemingly the norm.

That’s why, as tourists, my husband and I rent from the beach vendors. We are starting to feel like, as tourists, that we aren’t welcome ... no matter what we do.

This attitude along with the beach vendor issue is why I have made reservations for our next year vacation in another county in the panhandle. We spend thousands of dollars to support your community as tourists...

I hope wherever you are going turns out to be wonderful!

There shouldn't be any pre-setup, period. If someone wants to rent a chair, it should be set up when the person is actually at the beach and taken down when the person leaves.

What if the person or persons just goes back to his or her rental unit to get lunch, use the restroom, etc?

Why can't tourist carry their chairs and umbrellas to the beach each day like the lowly locals?

We used to but as we have gotten older it’s a bit challenging, especially with knee and shoulder replacements; however, we still love the beach and have kept our beach bodies int pretty good shape.

How far do you think we can push money grab? In the spring if someone set up a table at a county access and charged admission do you think anyone would come to stop it?

Unfortunately, that’s pretty much what the BCC allows the chair vendors to do on 50% of the beach access sand.

In order to claim your 50% to make money off of you have to claim your territory by spreading out items like chairs or umbrellas.

I do wonder what you could get away with. Like spreading out bamboo mats or towels or mini umbrellas as place markers along the water and charging for "your" space.
