yeah, but just be patient..in a few million more years, those rocks will be worn down to tiny sand particles and it'll be great!

I did that JUST TODAY! The pumps aren't real old but they don't have card readers so you have to pay inside. And while you are inside you might decide to buy some Pumpkin Cheesecake, maple, Cappuccino and Red Velvet fudge
But you are right, it is rare and only likely in low population areas. Most places if you aren't using a card in the pump you have to go in and give them too much cash (if you plan to fill up) then go back in for change.

yeah...our beaches are pretty rocky, there is sand, but usually only right at the water edge. Our sand is mostly made from coal, lava, and granite. ...so dark gray.
The property owner is brilliant. ..she has put up a bunch of no utilities cabins, the only heat in the cabins is wood..and she sells wood..
She built all of the cabins herself, they scream "not to code" and are built with zero insulation, and look like old free from the dump windows. ..so single pane.
I am jealous of her brilliance. She must rake it in in the summer...lots of work too...but still must be great income.
here is the inside of a cabin she has perched on the bluff looking out over the water. Notice how close the wood stove is to the bed... also, I had to stand 3 feet out of the cabin, to take a full room photo. There is an outhouse behind the cabin.
the outside
a few more shots from that day...sure was pretty.
one of my kids looking for fossils on the beach. There are lots here...mostly grasses and tree leaves. Water is behind me...
walking down the trail to the beach...and yeah... kid #3

Stove doesn't look THAT close to the bed. Hope it is air tight though. We once stayed in an old house with a small woodstove in the bedroom. Not airtight but we didn't know it. Boy did that thing roar - scary roar. Good thing there was only a small bit of kindling in it.
Speaking of woodstoves, ours is going as of this afternoon. It was 30° this morning. Likely to be the same tomorrow. High, if we are lucky will be 63°so I think the shorts and T shirt weather is over for many months.

I think I'd be scared off from renting a Summer cabin and had to have a woodstove....I'll just stay at home and run the AC....... Glad the kids had a Great time....I always loved looking for fossils and unusual rocks...

Given I don't think you are using the Celsius scale, you and your family are made of much sturdier stuff than my family!
I think maybe more a case of being "adapted" to far worse conditions than you are, for a longer/prolonged period of time...
