I cannot believe people are, once again, hand-wringing about the naming of the Lewes beaches. Perhaps that energy could be better directed at volunteering in the state park, fighting to save all the land that’s being raped and overdeveloped, building houses for Habitat or tutoring children. City council has better things to do than field these ongoing complaints that smack of entitlement. How fortunate we are to live on or near Lewes Beach! In the grand scheme of things, the beach doesn't even belong to us. If you don’t like the names that were selected, in the words of Taylor Swift, “call it what you want to.”
