ha ha....

Well, since I live in a tourist trap, the beaches officially open on Memorial Day, and they don't allow animals on them then...it might scare off tourists. On Labor Day (in September) we can walk the dogs there again. Also, they charge money to park at the beach from Memorial Day thru Labor day, anywhere from $15 to $40 depending on the beach. Unless you have a resident sticker (which is $35 for the season). Residents can park at their town beach for free. There is also a Cape-wide Beach sticker supposedly, but a lot of beaches are exempt. I am lucky, my town has a resident only beach, so I can avoid the tourists. It's not the greatest beach, but it's sunny, salty and clean...so it works.

Aren't ya glad you mentioned it? TMI, I know.
