To the Editor:

On Monday, July 13, my partner and I decided to go to the beach late in the day. It was a magnificent day and the beach was still a bit crowded, but we found an area next to two adolescent lads and thought it to be the perfect spot.

Maybe an hour or so later the rest of the nearby group showed up, bringing the total to either eight or nine. They were loud and carrying on and having fun seeing each other.
