We’ll Save You a Place
Growing up, we would often arrive on the beach about an hour after we intended to put our feet in the sand. Whether there was a hang-up getting out or we were enjoying a relaxing breakfast. Sometimes that meant the difference of stretching out on the soft sand or getting a cool spot near the water until moving when the tide came in and then moving again and then moving again and again. Not a problem as a kid aside from the wet, sandy towels. "Whoa! The ocean is reaching all of our stuff!" As an adult - not so exciting. Especially if you're the one moving the umbrella every time.
We set up cabanas and umbrellas at 7am and take them down at 5pm.
