[quote=Anonymous]As for the Eastern Shore of Maryland generally, you need to consider the history. The area was mostly working class and agricultural before the beaches got popular. There were plenty of plantations, and slavery was a thing. The people from the DC area would go to beaches along the Chesepeake on our side of the river, like North Beach (which was whites only until about 70 years ago.. the "colored" beach was Carr's Beach), and there was even a train service that ran from DC to North Beach. Then the Bay Bridge was built and that made it easier to get to the eastern shore from the wealthy DC area. Only then did the beach towns really start to take off, but there wasn't much in the way of urban planning so that is why it's so haphazard. As for France, the beaches I went to in Nice were so rocky you couldn't walk barefoot. And doesn't nearby Marseille have one of the highest crime rates in France? (Yes, I realize it's still way below the US)[/quote]
