Seaside "beach kid" here, our beach culture is most definitely NOT any of that shit. Sure, it exists as an outlier (some of the families have owned property down here forever, super wealthy, etc), but the main things that come to mind for beach culture are just the simple things like the boardwalk, beach, and the local shops.
The yuppies and yachts mostly come from NY and elsewhere ;)
Yeah, in childhood my family used to go to New Jersey beaches in the summer. A solidly middle class experience. And nothing like a certain reality TV series either, which unfairly gave it a bad name.
