The WSJ site is not my favorite way to solve these, but I soldiered through it and now I'm ashore with the rest of y'all/yinz/youse. (English does too have a separate plural second person pronoun! Several of them, in fact.)

I'll have Green-Tailed Dragon of Maroon Morning. (rum, midori, pineapple juice, lime juice, orgeat blended with crushed ice with a teaspoon a cherry brandy in the center.)
You should turn that into a meta.

Ashore! Claiming my spot under the palm tree next to the Tiki Bar. Want to stay cool, but hydrated.

In sight of land, but not quite ashore. Almost there…

I’m looking for an open spot on this crowded beach.

Definitely some things I didn’t know in that grid
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Nice one!

yes, over 100 here also, I'm heading (literally) for a shower to cool off
I did EXACTLY the same thing!

Posting late, but it was a quick swim to shore. The beach already looks crowded.

I knew the answer to 17D because I was born there. I wouldn't expect most people to know that one. Probably the closest you'll get to the city is flying over it!

Ashore. Jameson, on ice.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

On Naboo. Late start, but not a hard landing. The droid behind the bar is mixing a concoction of absinthe, tequila, and cinnamon. Whatever it is, I'll take it. :lol:

Ashore.. feels good in the soft sand!
If I don't win a mug, I can always make one... ;) but it won't have the same cachet.

On shore looking for a beach umbrella to find shade under before the crowds hit. And we're already at triple digits after less than three hours!
