Thanks for that link, John. It is an interesting thesis, isn't it, that beach attraction has to do with lack of imposed organisation?
All the same, I think he missed something, because I have a hunch that there's also a deeper atavistic reason why we're all so attracted to beaches -- something much more deeply embedded in our collective psyche than any set of social constructs.
Comments, anyone?
