I enjoy being at the beach. I love being able to pull out a book, have a beautiful view of the ocean and feel the sun. I’m not a beach bum but to me that is taking advantage of a nice summer day.
I love the beach. Grew up a few miles away from one and was a lifeguard one summer. Unfortunately I do burn more easily now than when I was younger but I still love it. I love the taste of saltwater.
We are at the beach this week. So far sunny and hot and lovely. The one thing that is so weird about this trip is normally I sit on the beach and dream of things that I am looking forward to and for some reason it’s not happening this trip. It makes me feel kind of cheated ):
Perhaps part of it is since I am retiring at the end of this year (quite early) I think it’s a different mindset and I am still working through getting my head wrapped around the idea of infinite time off. From what I understand vacations become less joyous once you retire. Or maybe it’s because I am not currently seeing anyone.
However I am really looking forward to and feeling wonderful about returning home tomorrow 🙂
I’m in the Midwes, so no beaches to visit as part of my everyday life. But I enjoy being near the beach or walking along the beach on vacations. I just don’t enjoy getting in the water. I think I’d really like the Pacific NW because it’s cooler weather. I’ve been to Florida in the summer and you just bake out there! I also love visiting Michigan for being near Lake Michigan!
I lived in San Francisco for more than 20 years. And it’s quite cool in the summer (high 50’s – mid 60’s). And by the end of my time there, I couldn’t wait for warm summer weather. It’s one of the reasons that I love L.A.
Yes–but only in the Pacific Northwest, because it is usually still cool enough to sit on the beach in a cardigan and read a book.
And a hat!
Yes! Always a hat!
It’s important. I’m never without a hat in So Cal.

There’s no other view like it! And the sound is divine.

Oceans are pretty chilly in California, so I’m not very inspired to go in. But it’s a singular experience for sure.

What do you think is getting in the way?

What makes you think that vacactions become less joyous after retiring (early)?
