we always went during spring break...it was the time you could find every place open on the beach.......the kids weren't that bad, we just stayed where they weren't.........more fun to watch 'em..better than TV....
in the 80's it was very-very BIG!.............
But still they don't bring the money as do the older visitors....and many wont open their doors to sp's.....
so who knows??, at least its nice to see crowds on the beach again........
