taking my child with me has really been the foil to get the hustlers off of me
if they start their conversation i say - respect - i'm with my child - and usually they back away
now after many many trips - walking down the beach with my son is the best remedy
he'll ask them - why are you looking at my mom - why are you talking to my mom - don't touch my mom
he's the best security a girl could ask for - lol
plus . . . after umpteen visits - the higglers have NEVER seen me with anyone - so they see me - and they don't think it's their lucky day

in fact one trip - a new guy was swirling and grinning in front of my beach chair
one of the regulars shouted out to him "she don't mess with no beach boys"
