In 1958 I used to wander all alone along Oxnard Beach. I mean for its whole length. At that time there was no marina.
This was a beach with a lot of beachy-type homes and some apartments but otherwise not much visited by people from in town, meaning Oxnard, or elsewhere.
No one ever bothered me. I was just 6-years old.
It is impossible for children to do that today.
Yeah. Same here. I was allowed to go alone up the street five houses to see my friend. We were both 3.
