Wading onto a very crowded shore, trying to dispel the possibiliity that I was a little tooooooo confident. I'm no stranger to the haste/hubris sharkbite.

Meta newbie here, I think I solved the meta but it almost seemed too easy?!? I'll PM one of you early solvers to verify. 😊

Got there quickly, but I think some may hit a false shoal halfway to shore.
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

puz file has been replaced with a good version. The Friday version the WSJ posted was bad, it seems.

Sort of disappointed, I never even unpacked my bags on the Love Boat. Now what to do with the weekend?

Ashore. Pretty easy grid and even easier meta... hoping I'm not claiming my beach cabana too prematurely... Happy Superbowl weekend Muggles!

They fixed the puzzle day, but there's still a little issue. If any of you solve online, the clues to 58D and 60D are missing -- you can find them on the pdf.
(I solved without them, then checked to find what the clues were supposed to be, and it didn't affect my rapid trip to the beach.)
