You know what else sucks? beaches. By most individual metrics they are a shitshow, but when you add all these ngatives together in peoples minds, they end up with a positive impression somehow. Do I want to go sit in sand in full sun, consume sandy food and lukewarm drinks, with limited access to normal amenities, listening to other peoples dipshit music, closely packed together with pasty bloated whale like humans without clothes? No I dont.

Go to better beaches then.

I live near one, never had a problem with being packed in or other peoples music because I just walk along the beach to find a clear area. Its also a gravel beach so no sand.

Insulated water bottles exist. Tbh I don't often bring food with me. Wtf kind of amenities are you expecting. Do you complain about nature not having free WiFi too?

There are ways to make beach time enjoyable. 1) Remember it's a rare place we're legally allowed to lay around half naked in public & just loiter doing nothing, and it's normal & expected behavior. 2) There's water nearby to cool off & play. 3) Bring things to keep yourself comfortable: blankets towels chairs shade music food beverages whatever. 4) Don't be a pasty bloated whale-like human. Being fit & healthy makes for a good time everywhere you go, 24/7/365.

Hey now some of us are pasty and semi bloated but the beach is still a good time. Even if it hurts a bit.

Dude, you need to go to a nice beach by a nice hotel. They have chairs set-up for you with umbrellas and someone will walk by and take your food and drink order and your food won't have sand and the drinks will be cold and you can just walk into the hotel for any amenities and you'll be with people who know better than to play music at the beach.

Hotel? Can't think of a worse way of going to the beach, and so expensive.

I often cycle to the beach after work for a swim.
