Survey reveals the dirty truth about how Americans behave at the beach
Which of these bad beach habits have you seen?
Waikiki Beach

Looking forward to heading down the shore this summer? A new survey revealed that most Americans (93%) claim to practice good beach etiquette, yet almost 92% admitted to practicing at least one bad beach habit. In a survey of over 1,000 American adults, 93% believed they had good beach etiquette, but later contradicted themselves by admitting to some strange beach habits. The most confessed offenses include peeing in the water (70%), sneaking alcohol where it's banned (49%), and pocketing sand or shells (38%). Meanwhile, when asked, Americans reported the most annoying destructive beach behaviors as littering, not picking up after pets, playing music too loudly, and sitting too close to other people.

Per the survey, 70% of respondents said that poor beach behaviors can negatively impact their time at the beach. While 82% said littering is the worst behavior they've seen, nearly one in four respondents also admitted to participating in this bad habit themselves. When examining destructive beach behaviors, there is a generational gap in behaviors. Older Americans reported fewer destructive behaviors throughout their lives, even during their younger years. This response suggests the decline in beach etiquette isn't just associated with youth; each generation is slipping further from the standard.
