Rip currents have nothing to do with my disdain for the beach. It’s just generally not enjoyable regardless.
I don't disdain it. Some of my favorite memories are at the beach with son wife and my son when he was little and my 7yo girl now. We are headed down Thursday.
She prefers to play in the sand and swim in the pool. So I play pack horse and tote everything down to the beach. Where my wife sits all day. I sit at the pool and we coordinate letting the 7yo have her best life.
I don't care for the pack horse thing. Doing what I can to minimize it.
