I LOVE the water. I only can't stand it when there's so many people there, it's just not pleasant. I prefer lakes where I can hang out with the catfish.
i live in florida. for most of my childhood we had a family beach house as well, but unfortunately had to sell it a few years back. i love the beach but without our house it's not as fun for me. perhaps i've been spoiled.
i went for the first time last summer and i had a great time! the beach was beautiful and the water was refreshing, but i did not realize how much i would hate the taste of salt water??? people from the coasts who grew up near the ocean seem to think i'm ridiculous but it's just sooooo bad ugh
Yeah we live fairly close to the coast so it's not a huge deal here. Nice beaches are rare for this area though, most of them are pretty trashy. I think the nicest beaches I've been to were the ones I saw in Majorca, which is the only time I've been to a resort area by the water. Beaches are fun if they're sandy, and clean. And not being too busy is a nice bonus too.
I have been to the beach many times, but only a few times were they open water. Most of the time I hav gone to the beach, it was on the side of an island that is facing the mainland, so the waves are minimal, and you can see the shore on the other side. I am really wanting to go to an open water beach soon sometime though!
I haven't been for over 9 years actually, but I did go 3 times as a kid. Once to a local beach and twice to beaches in Hawaii when we were on vacation.
Yes, I live on the East Coast about 4 hours away from the beach. My family used to go to the beach on vacations sometimes when I was a kid. I also went to the Bahamas on my honeymoon, so most of that time was spent on or near the beach. And I have family that live at the Outer Banks in North Carolina so every time we visit them, we are literally minutes away from the beach.
Yep, quite a few times. I have to admit I am not a fan of the texture of sand... It gets itself in everything for quite a while. I prefer going for a day or two as opposed to a longer amount of time.
Yes. It depends which beach you're in, but most of the ones I've been to are pretty boring, but even the borings ones are nice because hearing the ocean waves under a shade and breathing in the cool, clean air is a wonderful experience. I wish I could sleep in the beach.
When I was a kid my family used to go to a place in Mexico called Puerto Pe?asco(aka Rocky Point).It was a sleepy little beach town on the Gulf of California at the time.I remember that there was a lot of seashells and ocean wildlife there.We saw crabs,jellyfish,starfish and abalone.I was disappointed when I went to beaches in California and Hawaii and although they were lovely to look at they had no seashells or animals,just a lot of sand.
Some family, family friends, and I made a trip out to a beach back when I was very young. This beach was on the coast so it did in fact include the ocean. That was the only time though. I've been to smaller beaches after that throughout my life, but they have all been inland and connected to lakes rather than an ocean.
