Public Beach just means the public is allowed on the beach.....not necessarily where you choose to sit on your blanket! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

Wow Maureen, that was free entertainment you probably didn't appreciate! They can't say you didn't warn them! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Possibly "tourists" from a Cruise Ship? Locals would know better.

I seriously doubt they were from a ship. The first ship didn't actually dock until 8 AM yesterday and it would have taken them probably close to 9 AM to arrive at Orient. Plus people off a ship would not normally have a blanket with them.

We're they constantly checking the time ? That's a dead giveaway for a cruiser. I know I always was.

Completely understandable for someone to set up on an unoccupied space. There is no signage or any other way they would know about reserved beach space particularly if they were first time visitors. Even with the no doubt friendly advice offered by the OP I can see why they were reluctant to break down and move. The escalation to angry confrontation was probably avoidable but who knows. It is unfortunate some would see this as entertainment.

kish said: Perhaps I should have put "entertainment" in quotation marks. Don't know how you thought we might have enjoyed this argument, it was very scary!!! Please forgive my misuse of vacabulary!!!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> That was a statement in general not specific to you. The fact you were kind enough try and inform them says you are good people. I use the quote option (like now) to directly address a specific person.

Failure to communicate is the root cause of many problems and that seems to be the case here.
