Ah, they're never right 5 days out. Where were you planning on going to the beach?

fivezero Aug 29, 2006

My town. Island Beach State Park.

Is that unusual? You usually have to pay at least to park where we go in CA.

Yeah.. I guess I am used to a socialistic society up here.. 'we' own the land and its free. We do pay for parking in the 'city' beaches but that is about it. (Camping in parks are a different story... blood sucking leaches)

Just curious is it like an amusement park with turnstiles, hand stamping... it would just be so odd.

'your' use of 'quotes' is 'interesting'

oh, unless your talking about 'city' beaches... this is what I mean by a city beach...

But somehow I think your thinking about the 'we'. SO =P

this rule isn't countrywide. In Maryland the beaches are free and I'm pretty sure the same is true for Delaware.

hawaii too all free beaches, you can even go on the beaches that are on hotel property since all beaches are public

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

jsut dont surf in w/the locals or you'll get a beat down! LOL

magnum magnumOG 2001

thats why you have friends who marry locals and go with them :) It was funny me and my other friend who i visited, that lives there is white and we went in all the hotel pools no problems, but his friends who are hawaiian get kicked out before they even put their towels on the chairs.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

this is true. i fit in with the locals so i had no probs PLUS i have my friends who live in makaha, and my ex lived on the island too. so i had NO problems.. i would see the locals (haoles) get busted just getting in the water or wherever. LOL

magnum magnumOG 2001

yup a whole lotta hate for us white folk by some locals, something about us taking their land or something, at least we didnt make them work it too /me runs haha, kiddin im just a second generation italian so my family lines didnt do it

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

we only have to pay to park if you dont find anything in the neighborhoods etc but the beach is free. i was shocked to learn you guys had to pay to go to the brach.
