Going to the beach is supposed to be a pleasure for everyone, but there are those who turn the sand into a true ‘battlefield’ with inappropriate behaviors. Playing loud music, smoking near others, shaking sand -filled towels, or setting up sight tents are among the most annoying behaviors that should be avoided, according to HUFFPOST label experts. One of them, Nick Leighton, asks beach goers to “respect” since we are not alone.
Coexistence in a public space like the beach requires common sense and respect. Nick Leighton, a podcast expert and host of the “Were You Raised By Wolves?” Podcast, remembers that, although we are outdoors, we are not alone, and our actions have an impact on others.
Be too close to others
Respecting the space of others is one of the basic rules. It should be at least three steps away from neighboring towels to ensure some privacy and prevent sand from flying every time someone passes, according to Jodi Rr Smith, president of Mannersmith Etiquette Consulting.
If the beach is full and it is impossible to maintain this distance, redouble the care: walk slowly, without shooting sand, and avoid pulling conversation with those who are listening to music or eyes closed, second Diane Gottsman, another expert in label, author of the book “Modern Etiquette For Better Life” and founder of The Protocol School of Texas. Headphones in the ears are a clear sign that it is not intended to be bothered.
Do not cover the view
More and more people carry large umbrellas, tents and beach structures. It’s okay in the optics of the same expert, as long as it does not block the view of those behind. Those who arrive later should pay attention to the position of others.
Watch out for the cigarette
Smoking on the beach is not forbidden everywhere, but should be done with discretion and far from other bathers.
And never, but never, leaving Blessed Buried in the sand as they are dangerous for animals, children and the environment.
No sand shaking on the others
Leaving the beach shaking or clothes with others is one of the most common mistakes. You should go away before doing so, especially on more windy days.
Avoid games in full zones
Playing the ball or frisbee near the towels is dangerous and unpleasant. Whenever you want to play, choose a free zone and keep distance from those who are resting.
Low volume and careful language
Conversations aloud, music in the columns and profanity are behaviors to avoid. Many people look for the beach to rest and not to hear the discussions of others. It is a matter of respect, according to the same source.
Collect everything before leaving the beach: bottles, papers, bags, food remains. Dropping trash in the sand, besides being illegal, represents a huge lack of civility.
Follow the rules of the beach
The flags are positioned for a reason, and the security zones must be respected. Ignoring the boundaries can endanger your life and that of others, says the label expert, quoted by. Each beach has its own rules: inquire and fulfill them.
Basically, it all comes down to respect for space and others. If each one does their part, the sand will be a quieter, clean and pleasant place for everyone, so it is important to moderate their behaviors on the beach.
