I was born and raised on Daytona Beach, and very young during the war. Every once in a while the beach was closed to civilians due to bodies, etc. being washed up. Shore Patrol with dogs patroled at night to keep spies and saboteurs from coming ashore. Slow-moving blimps cruised up and down the coastline looking for submarines. The was a tall watchtower every couple of miles on top of the dunes. Civilians couldn’t have cameras on the beach. Civilian cars were searched before crossing the bridge to the mainland. Us kids loved it!
