Do I see a very distant and a tad cynical aporoach here?
A  Martin Parish Disgust and Humor set into motion?
General human clumsyness exposed?
Are we that much better to afford a comment like this?
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

I also thought about Martin Parr when I saw these photos.
Number 1 and 6 are great.

I completely agree!
Photos with humor :)

Parr is an obvious reference here of course, but no disgust whatsoever, Frank.  If anything I feel compassion here. Beach holidays is time when you can not hide behind your work, plans, obligations and busy schedule. You are left alone and naked in more than one sense, by yourself and a lot of time to reflect on where you are and who you are. Dangerous time, holidays.
Yes, and the only thing that helps sometimes is the sense of humour.
The last shot is odd one out obviously.

I like especially the first one. There is a lot to see.

But on the other hand, in it's confrontational openness, it contains a lot of criticism  as well. The 'bathing mode', the stretchers, the 'beach-sand', the use of hotel-towels etc...
