Quite frequently, assorted social and community organisations organise outings for retirees to the local beaches. I've noticed that it appears to be mostly women who take part in these excursions.
I happened to come across one such group today. These arranged outings are popular, and beaches are pretty full when senior folk from four corners of the island pop by for a few hours. Buses are arranged, free of charge, to bring them back and forth.
They bring along their meals or snacks and just generally spend a few hours together in a friendly spirit of comradeship.
I love your island… very much
