We’re smack dab in the middle of beach season. But for almost a third of Americans, NO season is beach season.
A new poll found 30% of us haven’t been to a beach in at least five years. That includes 18% who said it’s been over a decade, and 3% who’ve NEVER been to the beach.
44% of Americans have gone in the past year. Around one in five have been to a beach in the past month.
79% said they “like” or “love” the beach, 14% don’t, and 7% don’t have strong feelings either way. Men were a little more likely to say they HATE the beach.
Whether you enjoy yourself or not might depend on the TYPE of beach you go to. 74% of us think a quiet, uncrowded beach is ideal. Just 12% prefer crowded beaches with lots of people.
The remaining 14% don’t have a preference. They love or hate ALL beaches equally.
