Going to the beach to me is not about the sand and waves, it's about feeding the seagulls. Yes, I'm the one who brings bread to the beach to feed the birds. In the beginning, I had no idea people were giving me the stinkeye for feeding the birds. I guess I didn't notice the looks because I couldn't imagine that was a possible thought.
I don't recall how or when I learned that feeding birds is frowned upon. I guess it mostly about "poop on you" fear.
I have not stopped feeding the birds. I enjoy it to much. I only do it when there are no others around. I'm willing to take a plop in the eye or on my clothes for the exchange.
