Boardwalk Traffic rules – Visitors have no comprehension the boardwalk is a street and that there are traffic rules to be followed. 😣 By the time they are yelling “Watch where you’re going Johnny!” it is too late.
Hole in the sand – The kids will dig a giant hole in the sand. Then later fill it with… sand.
Sunburn – Visitors will get burned the very first day and be red like a lobster the next day. Likely a wife beater kind of a pattern. Just remember sunscreen is your friend. Apply early and often.
