Curfew for a 13 year old

My DS is turning 13 in a few days and as it is summer spending a lot of time out of the house with his friends and with his girlfriend. They are spending time at the beach and at the park. His curfew is 8.30pm. Do you think this is a sensible curfew? He is pushing for it to by 9pm which I think is way too late and just for clarification it will not be this late when it is winter and it gets darker earlier or when he goes back to school.

What curfew do you have for your 13 year olds?

You could leave it as 8.30pm but be a bit flexible?
So say Fridays 9pm or special occasions, like if he's going to watch a later film or something

I wouldn't fancy my 12/13 year old hanging around the park of an evening no matter what the curfew time.

For me, what time he needs to be home would depend on where he was.

So if at a friend's house for example, it would probably be a bit later.
