Vacation hot spot cracks down on beach setups with $500 fines for sun shades, canopies

Beachgoers at Laguna Beach face fines up to $500 under new summer rules banning tents, canopies and large shade structures along the shoreline.

I recall some time back someone posting a photo of Colombier plage defiled (I thought) with a large blue beach tent for many people. Presumably set up by a boat crew for their guests or clients. Seemed to spoil the ambiance IMHO. But, YMMV.

Oui oui! (I wonder if a permit is required?)

Actually, this happened a couple of times to us at Gouverneur beach, and they were playing (loud) music and kind of disturbed the entire atmosphere for people who just wanted peace and quiet. I appreciate fun music in a place such as Nikki or a proper beach club but honestly, it seems a little inappropriate to usurp the public beaches that way. I was actually surprised people were allowed to do it. I understand putting up a tent for the sun and all but it felt a little inconsiderate to the other beach-goers. (Oh, am I becoming one of those "difficult" people?!! Guilty as charged, I guess.. )

Been to Laguna a lot and it is a total ZOO..beautiful place, great food, and great beach(es) but people bring large wagons full of stuff all the time. They really spread out, there is nowhere to park, unless you are staying at a hotel, etc. The Montage (my favorite) will set you up at the beach, though, which is really convenient. But only with chaises and umbrellas.

One of my best memories on SBH was sitting on the beach with my wife in chairs under a tiny umbrella (maybe 4'-0" in diameter). It was small, but we set it up just above our heads. We tried to not disturb anyone (I don't think we did) as we tend to set up towards the back of the beach. It was the perfect size umbrella for 2 beach chairs.

We've found a nice compromise is a small Shibumi -- easy to pack and comparatively unobtrusive. Can be a challenge when the winds whip around, but great when there is a steady breeze. And not hugely distracting to others.

Agree. We have a Shibumi (mini) that we packed through and had worked great the last few weeks. Here's a shot on St.Jean this morning

That is exactly the way we visit the beaches but sometimes keeping the umbrella up is more exercise than a workout

On our honeymoon in 1987 we brought an umbrella with us for our first time visit to the island. I’m trying to find a picture of the umbrella on the baggage carousel. I had never visited the Caribbean before and while I didn’t know what to expect. I knew it was going to be hot and we are beach people.
