Since we hunt during prime time, we usually stick to the wet sand and shore line.
While it is busy and crowded at times, I have a right to enjoy my hobby out there too. I don't get too close, like to the point where I'd bump someone or can't swing, but people do walk by pretty close. I'm not going to concede our fun so as to not bother others, which we don't bother anyone anyway. In other words, I'm not overly cautious or overly concerned about others. This implies they have a bigger right to space and fun? No.
Some people throw a ball around and take up lots of shore space that people have to walk around to not get hit. Others are blaring obnoxious music that would be unpleasant to spend the day next to.
We're quiet, don't take up much space - we're only in one spot for a short time. I'd say our nuisance factor is quite low. Near zero.
Dry sand is harder to do when it's busy because unlike the shore line, people are setup and stationary, or laying out. There one should give a reasonable amount of space. Near the water's edge, there's less of a "territorial" perception.
Most hunters will not hunt the areas I do because of the crowds, and instead go off-hours.
