What is a good hair product to replace John Fried Beach Blonde Ocean Wave spray?

Posted by admin on March 5th, 2010 and filed under ocean beach | 4 Comments »

John Frieda’s beach blonde ocean wave spray was the best spray ever to condition my brown v. thick, wavy hair – there is no other product at all, not even his frizz ease that works. Now this product has been discontinued all over the world, what can I do? Have any of you found a great alternative that has the same FX, if so what product(s)?

Thanx xx

buy a texture spray or "salt water" spray designline kms carry them

Where is a good place to watch a hockey game in/around Ocean Isle Beach, NC?

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under ocean beach | 2 Comments »

I’m going to be at the beach next week and I’d like to be able to watch the Pens vs. Hurricanes games. I’m not 21 yet so I can’t go in a bar so are there any other places I could go to watch the game in or close by Ocean Isle Beach?

Do they have a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant there? They usually have all sorts of sports on in there, plus the food is good too.

What do people classify as beach, near a large body of water near an ocean or something around a lake?

Posted by admin on February 25th, 2010 and filed under ocean beach | 5 Comments »

I’m in a debate and I think of going to a beach near an ocean like in Florida. I don’t think of going to the beach when I’m going to a lake. Can some clarify this information?

I definitely think that a beach can be around any body of water, regardless of its size. Beaches near oceans may be more popularly accepted, especially if you grew up in Florida, but I think a beach can be near any body of water and still hold that classification.

Is it legal to smoke hookah at a beach (Linda Mar and Ocean beach) in Bay Area California?

Just curious, I was thinking of bringing a hookah with me to a beach in the Bay Area since the weathers been so nice, maybe during sunset, but I don’t want to break any rules (if any). I know I’m going to need a wind cover and smoke is going get blown away but just seems very chill to do.

Where can I get wood to have a bonfire at Ocean Beach in SF?

Posted by admin on February 21st, 2010 and filed under ocean beach | 2 Comments »

Also, should I bring anything else (like lighter fluid?). Where can I get this stuff?

Thanks.

Most people just collect fallen branches, etc… from GG Park across the street. Starter logs technically aren’t allowed, and you can be fined (and have the fire shut down) for using them. The reason is because they’re drenched in chemicals, which isn’t preferable considering the beach is home to many wild animals (birds of various sorts, rats, etc…) and toxic chemicals aren’t really a great idea. Likewise, lighter fluid is also illegal to use. I think driftwood is banned, too.

People obviously use these things, and often get away with it… but if you’re caught, you’re in trouble. And even if not caught, it’s quite irresponsible to do so considering the potential environmental problems (not like there isn’t enough toxic crap on the beach lately, but…).

Also, you’re responsible for putting the fire out and getting rid of all of the debris… Most people do the former, few do the latter. Likewise, the former is heavily enforced (if a cop sees an unattended fire, or a group walking away from a fire, it’s ALWAYS enforced)… the latter, not so much.

Are there any quiet ocean beach areas near San Francisco ?

I am trying to plan a trip to San Francisco to visit my brother and to get some quiet beach time with my family. Is there any nice quiet beach areas fairly close to San Francisco?

Ocean beach can be quiet during the weekdays…. or you can try half moon bay or pacifica.

I was at Ocean Beach in SF and there were hundreds of washed up jellyfish. Should I be careful of them?

Posted by admin on February 16th, 2010 and filed under ocean beach | 1 Comment »

I think they were Lion’s Mane jellyfish. They were clear and most of then didn’t have any tentacles but if they did there were few and they were small.

YES, you should be very careful around them. The fact that you can’t see the tentacles doesn’t mean they aren’t in the sand. Since the tentacles are often clear, they are very hard to spot until your foot starts burning from having stepped on one. The stinging cells don’t have to be attached to the jellyfish in order to sting.

The Lion’s Mane jellyfish does sometimes come that far south, so your identification may be correct.

I quote:
"They have a very severe sting that can produce blisters, irritation, and muscular cramp and may even affect respiratory and heart function. Cyanea capillata can still sting long after being stranded on the shore."

How can I get to Ocean Beach, SF by taking the BART?

Posted by admin on February 14th, 2010 and filed under ocean beach | 5 Comments »

How do I get there if I get off at Powell? Or is there a closer station to Ocean Beach? Thanks :D
I’m starting from the Union City station. So I should get off at Civic station, and then go outside to the MUNI? I hardly go to SF, and I usually only go on the BART.

Get off at Civic Center, then transfer to MUNI N-Judah for Ocean Beach from the same station. BART always comes in on the Lower Level of the station. And MUNI uses the Mezzanine Level. The destination signs on the trams will say "Ocean Beach" because it is the last stop.

Edit – Do not go outside at Civic Center. Simply get out of the paid area for BART and find the MUNI gates. Feed $2.00 worth of coins into the slot – there are change machines nearby if you only have bills – and head down to the MUNI platform. The gate will spit out a transfer slip, which you should keep in case you run into San Francisco’s finest. The economy is bad and they have been ordered to vamp up fare evasion enforcement on MUNI. The fine for getting caught without a transfer are $75.
