Heath Beach Views
You park your car in a large, easily accessible parking lot, grab your cooler and hibachi and towels and head toward the water. An easygoing-looking man with a red T-shirt will ask to check your cooler for glass. (There/’s a rule: No glass. Another rule is that you cane’t bring in a keg. Heath Beach ran successfully for 20 years without that rule, but things got out of hand in the early ’80s.)
The diving board is the locus of attention for daredevil divers, jovial spectators and budding strippers. Studly teenage boys and their aftermath provide an exhibition of styles not covered in the Olympics e– Heath Beach diving is more of an ecstatic yet brute experience than mere art. Iti’s not about how you land in the water, itn’s about how much you can possibly endure before you hit. It ’s the punk jock kind of diving you do when you can only dive a few times a summer.
