You can still do that a little further north in Daytona Beach.

It is not really like the old days tho. It is not, "drive out there
and have a picnic" It is more like the tourist parade.


Is there an enforced speed limit on those beaches?
I can just imagine the kiddies ducking hot roddin' yahoos going back & forth
to the water.

It's an interesting thing to do once...drive out on Daytona Beach,
but...once you do that, the car traffic really interferes with the
enjoyment of a beach experience...cars, car smells, noise, traffic.

Things were pretty loose and easy in Cocoa Beach back then. I did get stopped
once for having glass packs that were a little loud, but the cop let me off with
a warning to 'take it easy'.

Yeah, it's gotten dangerous for people to lay out without getting run over.
It would suck to take kids and have to add traffic to the other things
parents have to monitor at the beach.

I would have liked to have seen it back then.
My first visit was during the Challenger recovery and while it was quieter
than it is now, it was still pretty busy. Moved to the area in 1988 and
bought an old house on the Indian River for 90k. Times have changed...

Probably 15 years ago we were vacationing at a beach in SC (where it
is illegal to drive on the beach) and we got up early one morning for
a walk. About a mile down the beach there was a car that made it
about half way from the dunes to the firm sand, sitting there, back
tires spun down so that the frame was sitting on the sand. Some dude
was behind the wheel, and his wife/girlfriend was in the passenger
seat, both trying to sink down and blend in to the car. :-)

I'm sure his wallet was much lighter when that was over.

I'm sure he appreciated your offer to help.

Probably, but a decent guy would have offered to call a tow truck or
something...15 years ago, cell phones weren't that common.

In the 1950s, my dad's employees would deliver boat rigs to a popular
beach where there was pass-through between two old hotels direct to the
water. Once in a while, the jeep they used would bury its wheels up to
the hubs in the sand. When that happened, plenty of guys would come over
to help out.

Obviously, these volunteers weren't "jackgoffs."
