How would you feel about going for a sunrise swim in teal blue water along the French Riviera? I would imagine pretty good, and this TikTok from the travel influencer Brynley Joyner is absolutely magical. Too bad, you’re hungover, and you live on the Jersey Shore.

Regular people are fighting back against influencers posting themselves at the world’s most picturesque beaches. Not everyone can afford a trip to Europe; sometimes we just have to make do with the beaches at hand, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

The health and fitness influencer Captain Morgan also found his beach video stitched by a number of sarcastic “normal people.”


“I spent 6 hours in the water at Seacrets in OC and it partially dissolved my bathing suit,” jean ralphio commented.

With some American tourists feeling like trips to Europe are more trouble than they’re worth these days, maybe we’ll all just have to settle for our dirty, algae-filled American beaches. And that’s ok.
