Eliza - I'm with you! Too many people, too few beach towels...plus, I'm sure somewhere in this crowd is a stalker like Julian along with his white van...Hi Julian!

Great picture, but that looks way more crowded than the jersey shore on the 4th of July - and that is pretty crowded!!! But any beach is better than the office!!!

Metaphorically speaking, it's a bed of army ants, however it is a beautiful beach. I was privilidged to see it my travels around the world. Jeff, I can hear the music now, But my God man where did you learn to sing?

Eliza, Jesus frequently said to "fear not" so don't be frightened by a crowd. Jesus also said that "where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." Maybe some of these people are gathered in His name!

Tall and tan and young and lovely, The girl from Ipanema goes walking, ... and runs into one of the bazillion people on the beach.

I have counted 4,358 people and I am still going. People in the office think I've gone mad, specially since I'm self employed and I work on my own.

I'm sorry I voted low, I love the photo but the beach frightens the bejeezus out of me. I am blind without my glasses, I would never ever find my towel in that crowd. Great photo, though.
