Just a word of caution: Don't be a nice person to strangers invading your space.
We were chilling on the beach, when this normal-looking woman about our age walked up, set her bag under our canopy, and asked us to watch her bag. I said "no" and she left it and went into the water. Then she came out, got her bag, then walked back up toward the street. About that time, we packed up to leave. But she was sitting beside the cars acting all suspicious. Weird, right?
It turns out that is a beach scam. They ask you to watch their big tote bags, then when you go for a walk, they put your stuff into their bags and walk away. Nobody questions it, because it is assumed that the lady pawing through your belongings is with your group.
