1. "You shat on their shit? Please tell me you shat on their shit. That’s the Australian response."
2. "I will run an extra 5km on the burning, hot-ass sand if it means I can be away from everyone else, so I don’t get annoyed and can just enjoy the space and sounds of the ocean."
3. "Don't feed the fxxking seagulls. It's a recipe for disaster. They will come from everywhere and then seek out food from everyone else, like the blood-thirsty vampires they are."
4. "I think if you have music, you must be at a safe difference from everyone else and you must keep it low so that if you walk to another person, you can’t hear it."
5. "If it's a really busy beach, don't ask people to mind your stuff. It's annoying as shit and puts the responsibility on strangers to make sure you don't get mugged! I come to the beach to relax, not to be your private security."
6. "The preferred level of personal space on Perth beaches is approximately 500 metres."
7. "Definitely no blasting music, give at least a few meters between towels, be mindful of sand going everywhere (especially if you have kids or dogs), take your rubbish with you. Just don’t be an ass, basically."
8. "I absolutely hate when people walk around on a busy beach with their thongs on — flicking sand up and into everyone's faces with every step they take. I get that it's hot sometimes, but then find a less-crowded path to take! It's just common courtesy."
9. "Proper etiquette is checking which way the wind is blowing before you shake the towel out and moving, so you don't get it on anyone or their things."
10. "Never sit under someone else’s umbrella, have at least 50 meters between towels, take your rubbish, play music so that you can hear it, but not the whole beach and shake your towel off low to the ground or in the direction of the wind."
11. "If you want music, use earphones."
12. "If it's busy, it may be squishy for space (if you don't like a busy beach, go to another one), but if you walk on someone else's towel or flick sand on someone's stuff as you go past, you're a dick. Also, if you set up right in front of someone else when there's plenty of room — that's a dxxk move."
13. "I once shook out the sand from my beach towel and I either mistook the direction of the wind or the wind suddenly whipped in a different way and it all got in the lifesavers' faces!"
14. "Oh man, the feels. I was at Sandy the other day and hardly anyone was down there — next minute, a group of three families show up and it was almost like they were trying to boot me from my spot they were so close. Their towels were even under my umbrella!"
15. "Never, EVER poop in the ocean, especially between the flags. It’s just gross."
16. "If someone tried to encroach under my umbrella, I’d get my dog to wee on their thongs."
17. "I don’t care about people snuggling up to me, talking to me or eating my food, but I draw a line when it comes to eshays listening to rap next to me."
18. "The classic shit head move: Leaving fxxking rubbish on a pristine beach."
19. "We had a group sit right next to us, stand on my mum and young children's towels and knock over their sandcastle the other day. I stormed out of the water and said 'You are on our stuff. Get off!' and wrenched the towel from under them. I was seeing red. I was not polite, then they started oohing and oopsing. The beach was relatively empty, they could have even moved two meters the other side."
20. "Music is fine if it's just for the small area of the owners' towels, but if you can hear it from the water, it's bad."
21. "We set up our gazebo one time and a family edged their way closer and closer until they were completely under it. Also, they acted like we were 100% not even there, walking all over our shit and sitting on our bags/clothes. They stood on my sunglasses for a while and just acted like they weren't standing on them. Bizarre."
22. And finally, "Well I'm from Tasmania and live at the beach. Very rarely do I have to share it, usually only on weekends and even then probably max 20 people. I have literally never encountered any of these issues."
