Maybe this is normally a VERY busy public beach. Aren't the people who just walk in, run some caution tape, and take it all up, being assholes too?

Or maybe they were being super pushy, telling people they have to leave, despite having no claim to the space.

I'm not saying the lady is doing the right thing, I'm just saying that either or both sides could be suffering from a serious case of entitlement issues.

There's a public understanding that public spaces are for everyone. If you want privacy go to a private place. Otherwise you risk this and it is your own fault. Don't blame others who are trying to enjoy the same spaces in which they are equally entitled to use.

If everyone decided to have beach weddings the public would never get to use the beach. Nobody should feel entitled to use a public place for themselves only no matter what the occasion.

I agree, if you're in a public space you're gambling that people are going to choose to be polite when they don't have to.
