Would you take your eight yr old son to a mixed beach (just to play, not to swim)?

I'd let him swim too if there's a lifeguard (but probably not in January). - Maybe you should state who you're asking

Definitely not.
Sanguine, would you take a 13 year old boy to a mixed beach?

Depends the season.
Late May - Early Sept: After hours, when the beach is empty and there is no one there, accept for other frum people doing the same.
Rest of the year: No Problem.

Our community standards are to not take boys swimming together with women past age three, and some don't ever. I wouldn't deliberately take my son someplace where women might be extremely untznius (if it is now beach season in your location).
You are asking a very broad spectrum of people their opinion and you will end up confused. Someone here will justify you, someone else will make you feel like you are comitting a cardinal sin.

I'd actually be more likely to take him to swim vs play. Once you are in the water you can't see most of the untznius people very well; they are usually out on the sand sunbathing.
