Kick back, relax, and unwind this summer; you’ve earned it. Going casual, however, doesn’t mean you should relax your standards of gracious etiquette—even if you’re vacationing close to home due to today’s high cost of travel.
Balmy Beaches
What’s summer without time spent at the beach? Unfortunately, unless you’re on an exotic island, a thousand other people will have had the same idea as you.Don’t crowd other beachgoers with your towel, umbrella, and gear; they deserve their space. This includes their aural space, so minimize the volume as you listen to music. Better yet, use earbuds. Likewise, respect their air; nothing ruins a beach breeze faster than cigarette or vape smoke.
