[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Context: I’m from Oregon. I grew up going to the coast for windsurfing and boogie boarding (in a wetsuit even in August) and then for fishing and crabbing, but never once did anyone in my family lay on the beach on a towel. It’s cold and overcast most of the time. I come from a family of pretty serious watersportsmen. Some people might accuse them of being adrenaline junkies.

A lot of my kids’ friends do the beach house rental thing. I don’t want to make assumptions but from what I absorbed from pop culture growing up, you being towels, umbrellas, toys, snacks, and just lay in the sand and splash in the surf. Doesn’t that get boring after a few hours and certainly after one day? Do east coast beach towns have a bunch more activities that I’m missing?[/quote]

I’m from Washington state. You forgot the part where our beaches are all rocks. Haha. East coast beaches are an adjustment but I still think it’s fun. You make your own fun! East coasters probably think our NW beaches are awful, and honestly, I would too if I didn’t grow up on them. I’ve never once been warm on the beach in Washington. I remember once as a child it being so windy I could fall back into the wind and it held me up!

Can’t we all just appreciate things for what they are??[/quote]
