This is the time of year when those of us in the Northern Hemisphere are either at the beach, or wishing we were at the beach. Of course, this means that if you are lucky enough to get to a beach, you are probably sharing it with many, many other people. But what if you didn’t have to do that? What if you had your own beach?
