Hate the beach, love the beach?

Well, maybe hubby is right, maybe I am nuts-LOL!

LOVE the beach, but only relatively tropical ones. "Beaches" on local lakes don't count; FL, a few Texas and Carribbean beaches are what I like. I could spend all day, everyday on the beach. I find the sand easily brushes off once I am dry and shakes out of towels and other belongings pretty well; I don't find sand to be "dirty" at all.

i normally love the beach, but this summer it did seem like alot of work...the beach was full of either nats and/or horse fly's, yuk!! i cant remember a beach that was like that...so it was annoying...

I LOVE the beach! I go every day in the summer- I would go insane if I didn't!

Lululovebags · Aug 29th, 2008, 04:10 PM

It really depends on my mood...sometimes i love the beach for the sun and chill out with gfs...just laze and talk...but sometimes, the weather can be crummy and that is clearly a bad time to be at ..right place but wrong timing!

I love the beach! There's nothing close to a beach where I live, so I go every opportunity I get.

If the beach is crowded, I wouldn't like it. But other than that, yeah.

I LOVE the beach! I love sunbathing, swimming, hearing the waves roll in, smell of the suntan lotion...I can go on and on LOL

I voted "love the beach" which I do but not as much as when I was younger. I love the atmosphere but I don't like to tan like I used to, not as skinny as I used to be, not too crazy about the water (jelly fish, sharks).

I hate the beach. I don't do sun, I don't do heat and I don't do bathing suits!

My dream vacation is anywhere cool. One day I will go on a cruise to Alaska, then I can walk along the shoreline, but the tropics is not for me.

I've only been to beaches here, but it's a take it or leave it thing for me. I like looking at them or being nearby and hearing the waves. But if I'm actually laying out, I hate being all sandy afterwards and I hate those little flies that fly around the seaweed that washes in and the sand fleas; I always feel itchy. Ick.

I love the beach, especially one with beautiful, clear warm water, however I must have an umbrella and shade because I do not like to get too much sun. My favorite is snorkeling around tropical reefs.

I love the beach. While I admit it is a pain to go sometimes, and to get all sandy and have to lug all your stuff back when you go home, I still love it. I especially love it at night.. I think it's one of the most romantic places. I love the sound of the ocean, the smell of it, everything. I plan on getting married on a beach because I love it so much.

lilian · Aug 30th, 2008, 01:26 AM

I used to hate it, and then I moved to California. It's a nice place to spend a few hours just relaxing, reading a book, or listening to your iPod, but I don't like making a whole day of it.

I also don't like beaches that you have to drive for hours to get to. I like to be close to a city so I can go shop and get something to eat once I'm done.

Love the sand under my feet, the sun, the sound of the waves, the smell of suntan oil, everything about it!
