What a rip tide looks like. Don't dig deep holes in the sand. Ocean County NJ.

The worst part of snowbird season is the attitudes. People come to town and are so rude. We used to be a lovely, laid back quiet town that was relatively unknown. Once word got out, the souvenir shops and fast food moved in, kids climbing the dunes, bags of dirty diapers and a days worth of trash left on the beach and cigarette butts left in the sand. The visitors didn’t take kindly to being asked to take care of things either. Publix became a sightseeing trip to these people too; try to get in and out after work! One tip I’d add, would be to please remember that you’re welcome to visit, we enjoy showing our beautiful towns off, but you are visiting; we live here and have jobs to get to, do business with banks, doctors, etc we don’t live to serve tourists. Hopefully you had good home training, now’s the time to make your Momma and Daddy proud.

For those who have to work outdoors in the heat, put your (well sealed) sunblock in your cooler. That way it’s a really nice cold treat when it’s time to reapply.

All of this applies to the ocean beaches, too. All the way up to Hatteras at least. Frankly, this could be a whole series.

Truer words have never been spoken. Thank you ❤

Love that Surf Style in Gulf Shores...

“Come in October!” We did that 2 years ago and apparently that’s also Gulf jellyfish season. I didn’t know it was possible to be stung so much in 2 days. We spent the last 3 days just looking at the water because we were done being attacked.

THANK YOU! 🙏 Nothing against my fellow buckeyes or any other mid-westerners, but you guys do not live the Salt Life!! Lose the stickers!!! Great video

Cali coast here, question... does living the Salt Life mean: Marine grade cloth will disintegrate a little slower, but still. Rust, rust and aluminum corrosion everywhere? Worried about what Deep Horizon really did to the Biome? (At least ya don't have Fukushima radiation coming your way like us!) Putting on that suit that made you look slim and athletic only to find the elastic has completely given top the ghost? And finally, does it mean the Terns, Herons and those cuter than cute little wrens that sprint across the sand are chased out by flying rats (my Navy sister's term, personally I find them part of the scenery)? yeah

​@@justinnelson1483 that's where my car spent a good 10 years. Let's just say I'm glad I have a MIG welder now.

Thanks for telling them about our October secret 😂 September is good too but AFTER Labor Day 😂 here in Galveston we have tons of rattlesnakes in the dunes and plenty of signs to warn people but every single time you'll see that one guy 😂

I used to work at copy & print shop, and we had a family print their sand dune backdropped family portrait session holiday card …. The printer had them as the *exact* same color as the sand, and we had to spend an hour adjusting the printer settings so it didn’t just look like a bunch of weirdly empty shorts & tshirts floating on the dune. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The zillow line got me. Too real.

Thank you. My friend and I have been discussing a trip down there (from NE MS) and now I have some helpful planning advice.

Tybee Island resident ... dont let that time of year secret spill again

Man, that Hurricane Jeff was WILD.

I love this! I can’t pick a favorite! 😂

"Ask about the hurricane " the absolute truth, I've met locals that weren't even there that won't stop talking about whatever storm. And under no condition ask the question in a bar😊

Loved this, haha. I live in a coastal state and alot of these tips are definitely still valid further north 😂
