I used to live in Morehead City NC,which is a tiny tourist town and gateway to one of the barrier island hot spots.(Emerald isle)..And yeah,it was like that..Tourists meandering about blocking traffic,taking pictures. It was not a good idea to try to go anywhere during the 4th of July or the seafood festival.
