Items on the beach overnight

with so many empty tents and chairs on the beach, I have no problem finding one and using it myself. Why should I lug my own sun protection to the beach, when there is already plenty available. If the "owner" comes knocking on my chair, I will give it up and move to the next one. I have yet to see anyone upset with me for using their shade and chair. Now, when I invade their cooler and sip on their beer, we might have another issue. ;-)

I have seriously thought about selecting a big nice new tent that's all ready and empty, but just can't bring myself to do it... quite... :wave:

I've been doing a lot of thinking about the topic of this thread. As a part-owner of a private beach walkover, I am not bothered by renters who leave their chairs and umbrellas under the walkover at the end of the day for the duration of their stay so they don't have to tote them back and forth. (Beach toys are another matter -- even if you put them under the walkover, they're light enough to be blown around and trash up the beach). What bothers me is when renters abandon their stuff. (Owners in our neighborhood don't abandon their stuff because they want to reuse it on their next visit). Why isn't it reasonable at a private walkover to allow someone to park their chairs and umbrellas under the walkover each evening during their week's stay? If it's tagged as being there over a week, then it could be confiscated. I don't see how this would this impede the sea turtles because the walkovers and their underlying supports are themselves a barrier.

What's wrong with this idea? I'm sure someone out there can set me straight.

Per the FAQ, items left under private walkovers will not be tagged.

Thanks for the info. So that means that our neighborhood is responsible for cleaning up all of the crap on the beach in front of the neighborhood since we don't have a TDC trash can? I'll do it Labor Day weekend like I always do, as well as during the off-season. It's easy to tell if something is abandoned in the off-season because there are so few renters. In the summertime you don't know whether the stuff belongs to current renters or previous ones.

Could always claim you mixed it up w/ yours!!! Don't think we should encourage potential beach rage/squatters claim rights just yet ;-).
