Why do people act like going to the beach is fun?

Especially with kids?
Nothing says fun like paying for an overpriced condo, having to sweat your balls off hauling a wagon full of junk down to the beach, only to sit there for about 2-3 hours before everyone has enough sand time and goes sit by the pool. Then you have to break all the shite down, and clean the sand off after.
Went the last two summers, will be doing lake houses from here on out. At least until both our kids are 8+

It’s course and rough, and it gets everywhere.

Grand Isle FTW. Not overpriced, SxS carrying all your shite and the people your with, fishing and crabbing in the surf. Can’t beat it

Anything where you can tell someone else you spent money, especially at some super duper nice house on the beach, you take it!
Spending money is so in.
Who really wants to walk and set shite up like a fricking Bedouin in the sand?

Lake in the mountains is far better than the beach

I did this thread before. It did not end well. People like the beach.

I bet George Lucas wrote that line after a family trip to Gulf Shores

I took my kids to the beach nearly every year until they were 16. Never hauled anything. Wife would carry a bag with some towels, I’d usually have one with some drinks and snacks. We’d rent beach chairs and an umbrella someone else sets up.

Sitting in a chair drinking cold beer for 8 hours while watching the waves roll in and half naked women walking by sucks

I like beach condo balconies and beer. That's usually the extent of my beach enjoyment.

It is work, and I agree. But it’s all about how much your kids enjoy it. I’m not there for me. Would rather be in many places. But that’s not what it is about.

Enjoy walking out on your dock and being greeted by a friendly water moccasin. At least sharks can't come after you on land.

I hope they don't accept that challenge, Jim.

I have six kids and I’ve never brought a wagon to the beach.
Why are you sweating your balls off? Is there no water close by to go into and cool off??
