The beach used to be a place you could go to relax and unwind, but judging by the following pictures, people don't enjoy the simple (or sane) life anymore. Check out these wild photos from people who forgot how to beach. Or perhaps they over beached?

Happens to the Best of Us Kid

Deckchairs: The bane of everyday life at the beach. Normally seen in herds of 20 or so, this solo chair has gone rogue on its own and has attempted to take on one of the weaker normal occupants. This rare sight can only be seen where the genus metallus springius maximus is found.

[QUOTE:Portable Beach Chair: Consider investing in a lightweight, portable beach chair for a more comfortable lounging experience.]

Excuse Me Where's the Restroom?

It's time for the obligatory sexy photo of your long-awaited beach holiday. The camera goes just there with a good shot of the sea and sand and ... wait, grandma? It's photobombing time! Hey, at least grandma can party with the best of them, we hope.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Capture the Moment: Don't forget your camera. The beach is a great place for some impromptu photoshoots.]

Yea, That Seems Fair

People will steal anything, and it seems that someone doesn't trust the people around them. We can't really say we blame them, even if the lock is worth more than the flip-flops. At least it's a good solution, and if someone tries to cut them off, they'll be more flop than flip.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Slip-On Shoes: Wear flip-flops or slip-ons to the beach. They're easier to clean and dry than sneakers.]

Seagull Snatch

Where there are beaches, there are seagulls. And they don't give a shit. Why these people seem to think that water is going to bother a seagull (that lives by a large body of water) is beyond us — do they really think it's thirsty?

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Join a Picnic: If you see a group having a picnic, politely ask if you could join them.]

Joey at the Beach

Remember Joey from Friends? For some reason, we could see his character loving this. No sand, nice cushion, seaside view — what's not to like? It's absolutely the ultimate in comfort, although we do worry that he's going to get carried away by the rising tide.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Bring Reading Material: A beach day is the perfect opportunity to catch up on your reading. Remember to bring a book, e-reader, or magazine.]

Triple Stack

On one hand, this can't be at all comfortable for the woman on the bottom of this pile. On the other, this is admittedly an excellent way to avoid a sunburn for two out of the three women involved. One thing's for sure; all three want this photo taken quickly!

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Beach Yoga: Try some beach yoga. The uneven surface can challenge your balance and the sound of the waves is very calming.]

Catch a Wave

Old larger man, check. Weak plastic chair, check. Large body of water that has, you know, tides, check. Someone's going to make a splash — it's pretty much perfect Fail Army fodder. Oh, and do you think he has enough sunblock on his middle? Because that's going to hurt if it burns ...

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Digital Detox: Try to limit your use of phones or gadgets. The beach is a great place for a mini digital detox.]

Yea Baby

Yeah, we know dogs love butts. This guy may be a good boy, but even he can't contain his expression. Typical old man behavior. Just goes to show you don't need just two legs to enjoy the good life — especially not when you're on the beach.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Proper Fit: Make sure your swimsuit fits well. It shouldn't be too loose or too tight, and it should provide the right support where you need it.]

Do Stupid Things..

It's time to party! But when you party too hard, there can be consequences. We hope this guy hasn't done anything too bad, but it's still captured for all eternity with this poorly timed photobomb. Oh, and there are some attractive women there, as well.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Sunscreen Thief: Don't steal other people's sunscreen. They'll recognize the scent of their SPF 50 when they pass you by.]

Highly Evolved

Seriously, who brings a chimp to a beach? It's pretty much asking for trouble, and have you seen the nails on one? At least it's smiling, and for anyone who doesn't believe in evolution, this photo pretty much proves that men are direct descendants of apes.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Offer Assistance: If you see someone struggling with their beach setup, offer to lend a hand.]

Ingenuity Seaside

So, it's time for the obligatory application of sunblock, but perhaps you don't have anyone to rub it on your back. This guy has an ingenious solution to help prevent the inevitable lobsterization effect: Use a small roller to apply it! At least he's staying safe.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Sporty Styles: If you're into water sports, consider a sporty style swimsuit for more coverage and support.]

Just a Little Phallic

Who doesn't want a dick under their feet? Well, probably ... most people? We know many men believe that a 3-foot cock is what women want, but you don't want to be tripping over that thing. Still, we bet that it'll do a nice cutback.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Water Sports: If you're into water sports, ask someone to be your surfing or paddleboarding buddy.]

Hands Up

Surely they need more support than that ... never mind. We're sure you're concentrating on the fact that she's clearly got a mismatched swimsuit. Definitely. The styles are completely different, and the colors are off. Still, she's got the basic beach vibe down to a tee.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Local Recommendations: Ask locals for recommendations on the best places to eat or things to do.]

That'll Block the Sun

We've got to admit, if you're trying to avoid a sunburn, this might be the perfect hat with which to do it. This ultra-wide brim headgear should block out all the sun's rays...and any stray rays from any other star in the Milky Way galaxy.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Silly Hat Contest: Have a silly beach hat contest. The one with the most outrageous hat wins.]

That's What You Get for Booking an AirBnB

Ah, the famous Maho Beach in Sint Maarten. Where you can enjoy sea, sun, surf and the noise of Airbus A380s coming in to land just a few feet above you. As someone who has spent some time around large aircraft, we can tell you that it'll leave a ringing in your ears ... and you'll soon hear the whooshing of the waves permanently if you stay there too long.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Children Supervision: Keep a close eye on kids. They're as unpredictable as a cliffhanger in a soap opera.]

Keeping It Classy

We can only imagine the conversation this guy had on the way to the beach. Right, Jim, I need to keep it beach casual. So let's go with shirt off. Wait, that isn't casual enough. I'll only have a single suspender on. Perfect. Super casual.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Nature Walk: If there's a beach trail, ask someone if they'd like to join you on a nature walk.]

That's One Heck of a Hangover

Sure, you're going to have a good time when you combine good wine, gorgeous weather and the beach lifestyle. But the next morning? Well, you know what's worse than having a hangover? Having a hangover and a massive bottle imprinted on your torso surrounded by sunburn.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Floatation Devices: Don't rely on floaties as a life-saving device. They're more "fun noodle" than "lifesaver."]

Saving The Goods

Poole noodle are more than just a flotie. When you get craty that can support more important things. Now it's time to relax and crack open a cold one. For the boys of course!

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Cool Your Burns: If you end up with a mild sunburn, apply natural yoghurt. It will soothe your skin and help it recover.]

You Get What You Get

Mine? Mine? Mine mine mine? Mine mine mine... Who doesn't love seagulls? Well ... no one loves seagulls. Especially when they pull tricks like this. You're there, happily eating something tasty, and a seagull swoops in and scarfs it down. And you're like, "Dude, whut?"

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Feeding: Don't feed the wildlife. We don't need squirrels with a taste for potato chips.]

Pink Slime

A good rule for life, not just the beach: DON'T PICK UP PINK SLIME. Sure, it may look harmless and generally ... well ... blobby and cool, but it can pack a punch. He's lucky her hand didn't swell up to twice the normal size and need a quick trip to the ER.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Jellyfish: Don't poke the jellyfish. They're not as fond of the contact as you might think.]

DIY Flotation Device

We're not really sure that the guy's floatation device is going to hold. As soon as he goes in, off they'll pop. He would've been better off borrowing the jacket from the person he's accompanying. At least that's more likely to hold and help him enjoy the balmy weather.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Invest in a Sand-Proof Bag: There are bags specially designed to prevent sand from sticking to them. Consider getting one for beach trips.]

Happy High

The beach is time to chill, but some people love to chill more than others. And in some places, almost anything goes. This guy knows how to enjoy the good life, and we reckon if we were next to him, we'd be seriously chill, as well.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Smoking: If you must smoke, make sure to dispose of your cigarette butts properly. The sand isn't a giant ashtray.]

Neigh-bor

In Scotland, they huddle around their peat fires drinking whisky and telling stories of the mysterious kelpie, a watery horse spirit that sneaks out the lochs to seduce young maidens for ... reasons. Maybe this guy is auditioning? We're sure the snorkel is a prominent feature in mythology.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Check Beach Rules: Some beaches have specific rules about what you can bring, whether pets are allowed, etc. Check these before you go.]

Tight Squeeze

Tiny chair. Big guy. It wasn't ever going to end well, was it. Honestly, we're surprised it was even able to hold him, given his impressive girth. Perhaps he'd be better off on a beach towel or a deckchair with no arms. Let's hope he escaped!

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Offer Assistance: If you see someone struggling with their beach setup, offer to lend a hand.]

Crashing Waves

Editor's note: The writer for this one has had to go and have a cold shower and a hot cocoa, as he's been chained up in his office too long due to the pandemic. And lives in a freezing cold part of the country where wetsuits are mandatory when surfing.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Watch Out for Rip Currents: If you plan to swim, know how to spot and escape a rip current. Swim parallel to the shore until you're out of it.]

Straight Up Cougars

To the grandma who still has it and is not afraid to flaunt it, we give major props. To the men in the back with the boombox, also props for proving confidence is sexy. And to whoever chose the photo for using one from over a decade ago.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Prepare a Beach Playlist: Before your trip, create a beach playlist with your favorite songs to set the mood.]

Walker Down

At some point, this walker was a necessary piece of equipment. It was needed by some soul who had it to walk. And then one day, they walked into the sea, leaving it behind, all sad and alone. Let's hope they eventually came back for this faithful companion.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:BYOB: If you didn't you sunscreen before, you will now]

That One Is Going To Hurt

Okay, having a nice snooze on the beach might seem like bliss. And sure, it's a comfortable way to pass the time Until you wake up and you have sand in your hair, eyes, mouth, asscrack, toes and ears. And a sunburn that will allow you to feel every inch of your skin...

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol before swimming. The sea is not the place to find out how well you can 'walk the line'.]

Hey, What's Going On Here?

This woman seems like she's discovered something or someone in this hole that she's staring into, and she'd like to share her discovery with everyone. Of course, whoever's down here was probably hiding for a reason and can't be too happy about getting discovered. Too late for that; time to come out of hiding!

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Digging Holes: Refrain from digging holes everywhere. This is a beach, not a gold mine. Plus, we've lost too many flip flops that way.]

Photobomber

Surprise! It's just your local friendly manta ray, Steve. He does this all the time. And look at that adorable face! And big wings that can hug up to three humans at once. Wait, why are they screaming? It's just Steve. What a lovely rapscallion.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Sea Life: Remember, you're a guest in the sea creatures' home. Don't be the house guest who rearranges the furniture (or destroys coral reefs).]

Not Quite Perfection

Slim beachwear: Looks great on slim people. Needs to be upgraded to something less revealing on larger men — it's simply a matter of proportion. Especially when you're trying to take a cute photo on the edge of a random boat. Pro tip: watch out for sand between your toes when taking these pictures.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Avoid "One Size Fits All": In most cases, one size does not fit all. Choose a size that is tailored to your measurements.]

Optical Beach-Lusions

The bucket of doom is hanging above you, Lilliputian. Wait, that's not a real massively oversized bucket? What a relief! From the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa to the Eiffel Tower, people have been playing with perspective in photos for over a century. It's a nice take on it.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Sand Castles: Don't stamp on children's sandcastles. They might grow up to be city planners with a grudge.]

Borat at the Beach

It's Borat. Who else could pull off a lime-green mankini? Well ... no one, not even Borat, can pull off that mankini — we don't care what you say. Still, the power of cinema compels him, and he's regularly seen with super-attractive women (including his wife, Isla Fisher).

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Comfort is Key: No matter how fashionable a swimsuit is, if it's not comfortable, it's not worth it. Your swimsuit should make you feel confident and comfortable.]

Start Them Young

After a full day of crawling, being prevented from eating sand and heavily drinking milk — and likely the occasional tantrum — this little guy is tuckered out. It's a hard life being a small one on vacation. At least his parents can enjoy a few quiet drinks now.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Changing Clothes: Don't change your clothes in public. This isn't a Superman movie.]

Pineapple Colada

We see this so many times: When you take a photo, make sure the background is clear! A little angling, and you can use the pineapple to eliminate the extraneous person. And yes, it's a boob shot using the pineapple as a reason to show them off. Still, there's no excuse for this sloppiness.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Hydrate Smart: Alcohol and sun don't mix well. If you're drinking, remember to also stay hydrated with plenty of water.]

Recline in Style

Not only has this guy brought a couch to the beach, he's opted for the corner couch. Who knows how he got it there, but it's there. If it wasn't black leather, we'd be celebrating his genius. Seeing as it is black leather, and the weather looks hot, it seems like more of a fail.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Portable Battery Pack: Don't forget to carry a portable charger for your gadgets in case you run out of battery.]

Panoramic Upside Down View

You can only imagine how stunning the view she has from that vantage point is. As if paradise wasn't rare and beautiful enough, she's seeing it from a new perspective. The view from an observer's vantage point is pretty easy on the eye, too.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Beach Workout: Turn your beach day into a workout day. Run on the sand, swim in the sea, or do some beach yoga.]

Darwin Award

Wow. We've heard of explosive decompression, but this guy seems determined to experience it. And even if it is air in there, we're pretty sure it's not a highly regulated mix. Let's hope he at least cycled it a few times to get all the propane out.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Pack a Mini First Aid Kit: Always bring a small first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic wipes, tweezers (for splinters or sea urchin spines), and a topical steroid for bug bites. It's better to be safe than sorry!]

Beer at the Beach

There's no wrong way to drink a beer at the beach ... except there it is. Seriously, who likes that much foam? It's horrible. And unless she has no gag reflex, she's going to have to close her mouth to swallow, wasting all that precious amber liquid.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Diving: Don't dive into shallow water. It's like playing 'rock, paper, head' – the rock wins every time.]

Seeing Double

This man's sleek, athletic figure is a sight to behold in itself. But it's also a perfect mirror image of the landscape on yonder horizon. Wonder if he knows, or it's just the sweet synchronicity of nature? Either way, we shall name the man Gabe, and congratulate him on his success in life as a meme.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Watch the Clouds: Lay back on your beach towel and watch the clouds drift by.]

Sun Lounger Stretch

Is this lady European? This is most likely a joke about the stereotype that people from Europe get up extra early to put a towel down on the sun loungers at a hotel to reserve them for later. She's gone the extra mile and planted herself there in the splits. Cunning.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Beach Yoga: Try some yoga. The sand can add an extra challenge to your poses.]

Pump and Dump

There's nothing like sun, sea, and sand, but are lemurs really supposed to move it, move it with human alcohol? Aren't they supposed to get drunk on more harmless things like fermented bananas and other fruit? Perhaps this one is a hardcore party animal.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Stay Hydrated: Bring a lot of water and stay hydrated. Dehydration can make you feel stressed and anxious.]

Picture Perfect Shot

We love it when someone makes an effort, and these guys have the most insane timing we've seen. It's definitely worth it for this magical moment. The real question is how long did it take them to set this one up? And how many shots did it take?

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Try a New Water Sport: Make it a day to try a new water sport, like paddleboarding, surfing, or snorkeling.]

A Beach Nightmare

We guess to a dog, the beach looks like a giant dumping ground. And where better to show off your distinctive chocolate treats than right in front of your favorite human? Preferably in their face. Pray someone tosses Fido a ball soon because this could turn south really fast.

[QUOTE:Breathe the Sea Air: Practice deep breathing exercises while enjoying the fresh sea air.]

The Golden Ratio

Here's betting that this girl's hip to waist ratio is exactly between 0.67 and 0.8. Why, you ask? Because that is the golden ratio that determines how beautiful a lady's figure is. Of course, beauty rarely follows a mathematical formula, but it seems self-evident that this is a good ratio.

[QUOTE:Photography: Take photos of the beautiful beach scenery. Focusing on getting the perfect shot can be a form of mindfulness.]

Dollar Richer

Psst. You got some snacks? Some tasty fish or perhaps some shrimp that's been out for a few days? Hey, don't run away — I can pay! Where did I get it? Let's just say some seagulls owed me a favor. Yeah, can't trust those seagulls an inch, but they always pay.

[QUOTE:Seashell Collection: Hunt for unique seashells or stones. It's a calming activity that also gives you a nice souvenir.]

Need a Nap Buddy?

This manatee looks like it wants to show the sunbather next to it just how to relax alongside the ocean. It's showing the perfect form for resting in the sun and catching a few rays; we could all learn a few things from this level of relaxation!

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Seaside Meditation: Try some beach meditation. The sound of waves can be incredibly soothing and help you achieve a calm state of mind.]

Dirty Thief

Surprise, beach trucker! Seriously, don't be. Seagulls will steal anything that's not battened down, whether it's fries, ice cream, chicken nuggets, pickled onions, or even candy. They're basically the aerial version of rats. And they have zero fear as humans run screaming from their predations.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Bird Watching: Bring a pair of binoculars and watch the sea birds. It can be surprisingly calming.]

Say What?

That kid's pained facial experience matches the look on that inflatable turtle-like thing that's photobombing in the background of the picture. Perhaps they've both seen too much that day. Can't be easy being an inflatable turtle, having people swing and slide on you all day.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Shared Shade: Offer to share your beach umbrella with someone who looks like they could use a bit of shade.]

That's Some Package

Honestly, let's say we're impressed. And perturbed. The guy's almost pulling off socks with sandals. However, we know your eyes aren't drawn to that. It's the elephant in the room. Well, beach. Is it stuffed? Is it genuine? Inquiring minds almost want to know. Almost.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Avoid Ill-fitting Pieces: A swimsuit that's too tight can be unflattering and uncomfortable, while one that's too loose may not provide enough support or could even fall down.]

St. Patty's Day Shenanigans

If a picture tells a thousand words, then the photobombers in the back getting down and dirty tell at least half of them. And the other half is the adorable couple who are probably broken up now, regretting their beachside holiday together and everything that happened in the hotel room.

[QUOTE:Capture the Moment: Don't forget your camera. The beach is a great place for some impromptu photoshoots.]

Stone Cold

Whoever had the idea to paint this rock is a genius, and we wish we knew where it was, so we could recreate this exact picture. Admittedly, it would cost a few dollars, as it's in Palolem Beach, South Goa, India. Let's be honest, we bet we could get a few good photo ops out of it.

[QUOTE:Find Your Beach Stone Pet: Look for a stone that 'speaks to you'. Decorate it and make it your beach pet for the day.]

She's My Cherry Behind

There's a common theme of comparing female body types to fruits, but that usually refers to apple or pear shapes. Cherries, however, aren't usually used for this comparison, but it's hard to deny that they're a perfect fit here. They cover her up quite nicely!

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Capture the Moment: Don't forget your camera. The beach is a great place for some impromptu photoshoots.]

That's Gonna Suck

There's nothing like the warm summer rays, the soft sand underneath you, and cuddling up to a loved one on a happy beach holiday. You hear the crashing of the waves, the far-off sound of seagulls, and the warm trickle of canine piss down your ... holy crap, a dog's pissing on me!

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Pets: Keep your pet on a leash. Nobody wants a surprise 'dog shower'.]

Here Lies the Invisible Man

The addition of the hat is a really nice touch, and it makes it seem like someone else was here and tried to survive in this area. However, they just couldn't make it, leaving their "body" behind as a cautionary tale. Make sure not to get washed up on the shore here!

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Sand Sculpture Contest: Compete with your friends to see who can create the most elaborate sand sculpture. Bonus points for non-traditional sand castles.]

All-In

Normally, we would make fun of senior citizens with metal detectors, but this guy has probably spent more money on this ensemble than he will ever make, so we gotta give him props. Let's hope he finds something more valuable than the average random bits of steel and iron most detectorists find.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Treasure Hunt: Start a mini treasure hunt. It could be for shells, rocks, or even trash (as part of a beach cleanup).]

The Beach Life

It's a hard life looking your best at the beach. Got to wear that white bikini, be chatting to your friends — even if on your cell — and happily showing off that thigh gap. All while getting a near-perfect, even tan. And then, there's the guy in the background remembering his youth.

[QUOTE:Instant Beach Pillow: Pack light for your beach day and use your beach towel or sarong as a makeshift pillow. Just roll it up, and you're good to go.]

Welcome to the Jungle

Parrots and monkeys usually don't come along on a trip to the beach, but this is apparently an exception. These two tropical critters have decided that they've made a new friend in this little boy, and from the looks of things, he couldn't be happier hanging around with these two animal friends.

[NEXTPAGE]

[QUOTE:Local Recommendations: Ask locals for recommendations on the best places to eat or things to do.]

Back in Black

There's something about simple crisp black bikinis and things that make everything about the beach okay again. Especially when they're offset by the simple colors of the complexes in front of them, which complement the blue sky above them. A little bit of wind, and the hair goes perfectly. A great shot!

[QUOTE:Try Before You Buy: Whenever possible, try the swimsuit on before purchasing to make sure it fits properly and looks good on you.]

That's What Happens When You Feed the Wildlife

There's a reason there are signs everywhere that say don't feed the wildlife. One minute you're giving a cute raccoon a Frito, the next you're cornered on a beach by a pack of them. And from then on, you're the head of a raccoon army, invading the nation's trash cans.

[QUOTE:Feeding Wildlife: Don't feed the seagulls. Unless you want to recreate that scene from 'The Birds'.]

Go Big or Go Home

That's not a tail. It's a log. A giant log. And from her expression, she's pretty glad she passed it. Had one like this earlier. Admittedly, it was in a more sanitary place with only the cats looking on as if it's a communal activity. Le sigh.

[QUOTE:Warm-Up: Always warm-up before swimming. It's like a pre-party for your muscles.]

The Perils of Illiteracy

Let's be honest: When there's a sign telling us not to do something, it's often tempting to do exactly that. Especially when it makes a perfect jumping-off point. Still, given that it's likely an old sewage pipe, we're guessing there may be Darwinian consequences.

You Wanted a Puppy

Puppies chew, we get that. And give them a piece of string, and they'll chase it quite happily. We bet this dog owner didn't think that her bikini would be the tasty target of today, though, and we're betting she's about to feel mighty embarrassed in 3, 2, 1 ...

[QUOTE:Pet Playdate: If you have a dog and see another dog owner, suggest a pet playdate.]

Visual Trickery

Ah, the power of perspective. Sometimes, all it takes is a good photographer, perfect coordination, a picturesque location and a couple of willing participants. And then you get a photo like this! Unless it's Jack Black's new Gulliver's Travels advert when he might actually be that giant.

[QUOTE:Photography: If you're good with a camera, offer to take photos for people.]

Dumpster Fire at the Beach

Everyone has a unique style, and this one is certainly unique. We're not sure if it's the tiara, the Batman mask, the bikini, the cigarette or what looks suspiciously like a waterproofed Walkman. Or perhaps everything's just so incongruous that it almost works. Well ... almost.

Friends in High Places

You know your shaving game has reached a new high when the local beach police feel the need to take a selfie with you.

Jaws Alert

Has no one seen Jaws? Or the even more ridiculous Jaws 2? Or perhaps even the most ridiculous film in the franchise: Jaws: The Revenge. It actually had "this time, it's personal" as the tagline. While great white attacks are rare, they're still a threat, mainly because they can't discern the difference between a seal and a surfer. It's rarely worth taking the risk. These guys clearly disagree.
