beaching

How many of you guys beach your boats? I've always been told that the sand will tear and scratch up the front of your hull but I always see pics of it being done.

I had an incident today. I'm not sure if I was in the wrong or right. first of all I payed 10 bux just like everyone else to use the lake. 4 boats in my group mine was the fifth and last to head to sandy beach. Most of my friends were scattered on the beach. I pulled into a spot that was 2 boats...
