I was on holiday once with some friends, their 9 year old son came running across the beach barefooted, did a huge jump and landed straight on a broken piece of bottle in the sand.
It was horrible, there was blood everywhere.
Broken glass is dangerous.
I remember being on holiday & everyone on the beach has tar all over their feet, including us, it's a terrible thing to remove & makes feet very sore too.

Re: Children with no shoes on.

Why would anyone wear shoes on a beach? Yes there are nasty things around, but kids have to learn to look out for themselves.
I walked a lot of places barefoot when I was young and lived by the sea. Not just the beach but all over the lovely soft turf of the South Downs.
And now I live by a different beach, I still do in the right weather

That's the trouble isn't it. We can't trust people to get rid of their rubbish safely.

I walk barefoot on the beach, but would not do it on pavements or in shops!

I remember back in the late 70's I used to see a woman on the tube almost every day and she never wore shoes. She had feet like a Rhino.

As you say Art, revolting though it would be, I would sooner step in dog poo than tread on broken glass.
At least the dog poo would wash off and not rip your foot open.
