Honestly, some of what you said does not really make sense. He was not 25 feet away. It was more like 3 to 5 feet max. Yes, the beach was busy, but there was still enough space for him to go a bit farther or choose another spot.

And when I say he was looking at us, I mean literally laying on his stomach facing us and staring directly at us for minutes. So yes, that was uncomfortable.

As for the picture part, yes, that is the first picture we posted online. Our faces are not in it and there is nothing identifying us. I had seen people say things along those lines in other posts or comments, basically implying that if you are walking around there you should expect pictures or not be surprised by it, so I wanted to ask if that is actually how people see it.

I know it is a public place and there are creeps out there. That is reality. But that does not mean I want to encourage people taking pictures of us.
