Us New Englanders go to the beach for the SUN,SAND AND SEA.
We take an umbrella to avoid the sun, a blanket to keep us off the sand, and we don't spend much time in the cold water.
Otherwise we enjoy day at the beach. - Tom
Used t'vacay in Manomet.
Fishin' from a little dingy and meeting other vacay girls on the beach at night.
Swim ?
Not on your life, unless we go down by Bourne Bridge or "souther"
