It's not that rare here in Australia, that's an every day occurrence here, something to do with the fact we have so much coastline and so many beaches I guess, and that there's not that many people...and this was on a week day. If one was to go to that hideous beach in Sydney called Bondi Beach it'd be a different story, but only tourists like it there. There's a kit festival on Easter weekend at my local beach and there'll be at least 73 million people there that day, so a little more crowded.
