Beach Etiquette 101

The Unwritten Rules of the Coastal Kingdom

DON’T FEED THE GULLS 

One fry = full-blown bird frenzy. You’ll regret it. Everyone around you already does.

DON’T DJ THE WHOLE BEACH

This isn’t Rocking The Docks. If we can sing along,
it’s too loud.

TENT CITY? FINE. KINDA. 

You can set up your beach compound … just know everyone around you is silently (err not so silently) judging.

DON’T BOOGIE BOARD INTO CHILDREN 

This isn’t American Gladiators. Avoid the small humans.

MIND THE LANGUAGE 

F-bombs + family beach = not a good look. Save it for post-beach happy hour.

NO EXCESSIVE PDA 

We get it, you’re in love. But if it looks like a deleted scene from “The Bachelor,” tone it down.

ANCHOR YOUR UMBRELLA 

Treat it like it’s trying to escape – because it is. One gust and it’s a javelin.

Did you know? About 1,000 people a year in the U.S. end up in the ER thanks to flying beach umbrellas.

FILL IN YOUR HOLES 

Leave no craters for unsuspecting ankles. And yes, you will be blamed.

DON’T GET WASTED ON THE BEACH 

We’re all here to chill, not babysit. Know your limit.

DON’T LEAVE YOUR TRASH. SERIOUSLY. 

Want to go viral? Leave a mess and wait for the Facebook fury. iDewey sees all.
