Beachgoers are frustrated with people engaging in 'beach sprawling,' as a study found 92% of Americans do this by bringing large setups like tents and canopies. Complaints about obstructing views have circulated on social media, eliciting varying opinions from users. Some argue for restrictions on tent placement, while others express disdain for the behavior. As tensions rise regarding this issue, certain beaches in Delaware, New Jersey, and Maryland have enacted bans on these setups, imposing fines for violations to encourage better beach etiquette.
"Probably a super unpopular opinion, but I hate, hate, hate these tents. They should not be allowed. And if you are going to use them, you should have to sit at the back of the beach. I can't see my kid when she's in the water, it blocks the view - and an umbrella does the exact same thing," quipped one beach lover in a TikTok video.
"Biggest pet peeve at the beach. All this space and you literally set your tent up right on top of us, absolutely no common sense or spatial awareness." A frustrated sunbather expressed their annoyance in a TikTok video.
