David Benson told CoastTV he does not think this is an issue.

"It's perfectly fine to leave it for the day, Delaware's beaches are wonderful and they're safe, and people are trustworthy," explained Benson.

Another visitor told CoastTV they think people are taking advantage of the rules.

"We have seen the same items on the beach throughout the night and day, and apparently the city doesn't enforce their ordinance."

According to the City of Lewes' beach rules, overnight storage of personal items is prohibited.
