Today was the first day the beach was open to swimming. It was nice and warm today, sunny and almost hot. They had a Blue Angels show at the beach ( I actually heard them go over my house ) and I know the place was packed. I was reading about the history of the beach and they said the record attendance was back in July '95 when 275,000 people went to the park. On average during the summer there's between 150,000 and 200,000 people. Sniff... Sniff... Do I smell gold???? I'm going to try to get out before sunrise and catch part of the negative tide. Whoo Hoo, I love the summer!
