Dear Fellow Beach-Goers:

Don’t fret, there is plenty of beach for all. That 6-by-6-foot section of sand that the two of you are trying to squeeze in may work. However, the eight other members of your partywho are coming to the beach in a half hour won’t fit. Please note, the 80 feet of empty beach behind all of us will fit your entire party.

To the party of five that brings three coolers to the beach: Don’t fret, you won’t starve on the beach.
