Items on the beach overnight

I must be weird. I have never left anything on the beach in all the years I've been there. I must be very untrusting. Years ago I remember being amazed that everyone leaves their flip flops by the walkovers. I just carry them. I don't even trust that my cute new flip flops will still be there, much less a tent or chair.

Ms Seaside and itty bitty seaside used to look over the flip flops and decide which to "trade" theirs for. Wouldn't let them do it though!!

My beach shoes aren't exactly the cutest/most $ pair I own, but it still took me a while to feel ok about leaving my shoes and walking away from my towel etc. to take a stroll.

Now I feel that if someone REALLY wants to steal my $7 flip flops, the tote bag I got free, my towel, or library paperback karma will deal w/ them!

Me too...initially. But then it starting growing on me seeing all the flip flops together. It gives me a home town feeling that I hope never changes.

I gotta stop reading this thread. Now I'm gonna be uptight about leaving my flip flops on the walkover (if I wear them; I usually just go barefoot anyway,) or dents in the sand from my chair, or any other trace of my existance somewhere...

Can I still pee in the ocean?

Mrs. the kid & myself had a similar experience several years ago at Deer Lake Park--pre-nice walkover & pre Watersound---she left her flip-flops at the edge of the path leading to the beach after receiving several hard looks from the local guys who hung around there. When we came back from our walk they were gone. I figure they were thrown into the scrubbrush by one of the same fellows . Crime in So. Walton is tough.

The pre-Watersound Deer Lake wasn't the most family-friendly place.

my $7 flip flops

Damn, you got expensive tastes. I buy the 99 centers at the dollar store.

No wonder Ms and itty bitty wanted to "trade up"!!!!
