Renting a house with a group of friends at the beach isn't just for college students on spring break. Now, over-50 singles or those "re-singled" by divorce or the death of a spouse are reclaiming the beach house as their own. But instead of beer pong and binge drinking, some baby boomers are engaging in more sophisticated beach activities, including "tennis matches in the morning and cocktails on the beach in the late afternoon. Their first party this year was a black-tie affair, and a recent dinner featured grilled swordfish steaks and pinot grigio, accompanied by gazpacho served in chilled martini glasses," the Washington Post said in an article about one group of renters. "The singles host progressive gourmet dinner parties and take turns throwing the weekly, invitation-only cocktail party."
