Yep - the fun police are ubiquitous.

Its nice to go down there and park, open the back of your SUV, haul out the
beach equipment and have your vehicle at hand. U can load everything up and
lock it in the car if you want to take a stroll, and not have it stolen, and...
it just beats the heck out of carrying 70 lbs of junk from some street parking
200 feet away. And, of course, most everyone's got a nice car radio or tape or
CD player in the car, so you don't even have to lug that, either, if you can
park on the beach. Then there's just cruising the beach. That's just the
novelty of it, tho.
