I'm sorry to here about your bad experience. I wish that is was rare.

However, this seems to becoming a trend on all beaches. Every week I watch as on family group comes and goes. Too often people have the "I'm on vacation, too hell with the rules" mentality. The leave trash, destroy the dunes and generally act disrespectful. Being a holiday weekend it looks like "tent city" out front, with no room to move. I don't know what the solution is but we need one urgently.

I hope you will visit again and hopefully have a better experience. You might want to try some of the less populated beaches east and west of PCB. They tend to attract older family oriented crowds, which in most cases are more respectful of their environment.
