For some people, beaches can have a certain aphrodisiac effect. What else explains the existence of “Sex on the Beach” as a cocktail? But actually going for it on the beach, with children and families around, isn’t the best idea; if you must, save it for a drunken tryst at 2 a.m. with nobody around.



One couple learned this the hard way after they had water poured all over them, interrupting their beachfront makeout session, by a group of older teens, who took the opportunity to remind them that this was a public beach and there were children around.


After emptying the bottle of water, one of the teens throws it at the man, who quickly jumps up and assumes a fighting stance, but backs down once he realizes he’s outnumbered. Everyone stresses that the couple are weird as hell for getting so hot and heavy on the beach, but the only real response anyone gets is the woman letting everyone know that the man isn’t cheating on his wife with her, after one of the teens told the man, “Go to the bathroom. You’re weird as hell. Out here cheating on your wife.” Thanks for clearing that up.


The comments seemed fairly divided as to whether what the couple was doing was okay or not, and whether interrupting them was the right thing to do. Ultimately, I think the teens were doing them a favor. If they’d rolled around any more they would have found themselves cleaning sand out of unpleasant areas for days to come. Don’t just think about the kids when choosing not to go at it in public, think about the practical concerns too.
