re: #6 b_sharp
Did they learn nothing from Jaws?
I’ve been on beaches in CA, FL, NC and SC. I never felt very clean afterwards; don’t find being in the ocean very pleasant. But I love walking on the beaches before sunrise and after sunset. Not barefoot, though. Love the salty air and can smell it from 30 mi away; hate the salty water. I always wanted to take a long ocean voyage. Go figure.
