I just walk 100m along the beach and can't hear them anymore. Most people are too lazy to walk more than that distance from the car park. A fact that is very obvious when I kayak past the coast here and can use the dense clusters of people on the beach as landmarks with almost no one between them. First cluster is the lifeboat station, second and third are cafes, fourth has ice cream.

Its not laziness. It’s because they’re carrying a bunch of stuff for an extended hangout.

You do realise I can see them right? Many have not. You don't really need to bring that much with you anyway.

also some of us have broken bodies. and forgot the damn collapsible wagon back home.

it ain't laziness, it's injury prevention in us fogeys.

For a few people maybe, but that wouldn't explain the extreme difference in population densities over such a small distance. Also there is a smooth path to walk along to go left/right along the beach, its only the beach its self that is uneven terrain.

Ah, you and I go to very different beaches. There's a cliff to hike down to mine

Where I live is very flat, the steepest hill is in an area they dug a bunch of clay out the ground to make a hospital.

i either go to santa cruz or up in the marin/sonoma/mendo county beaches in california. I can think of one where it's flat to get to, but you have to be off it by high tide or your car is sailing away. besides, we set up camp by the onramp and then go hike a couple extra miles down the beach just because sand fucks with our legs' sense of distance

I live close to the beach and this is the way. Car is parked, peeps want to lay down IMMEDIATELY NOW. Take 5 minutes to walk down the beach and the crowd thins significantly.

This applies not just to beach. It applies to everything. Everyone congregates near entrances/exits, landmarks, close to the door in a parking lot, etc.

5 mins? 15 seconds of walking out in either direction is enough for it to start noticeably thinning out.
