The beach is nature's playground. Many like that visceral (deep inward feeling) attraction when spending time at the beach. For me there is no better remedy for relieving stress than having fun in the sun, the beach is the most amazing place to relax.
I go to the beach to recharge by soaking up the beauty of the bright blue sea, the tranquil sound of the crashing waves, smelling the earthy and salty scents of the ocean and feeling the sea breeze against my skin.
- Some of the time I like to sunbathe and read for relaxation.
- Most of the time I like to frolic in the water with my kids.
- Swimming in the sea is somehow completely different from swimming in a pool.
- Searching for hermit crabs or playing around in the tidal pools looking for sea creatures are daily activity for my family when on holiday.
- We love flying a kite and enjoy building sandcastle or either burying each other so you can only see the head or adding a mermaid tail to the lower body.
- The children and I also enjoy playing beach rugby, tennis or volley ball.
- For us, it is all about having as much fun as possible in all we do.
The health benefits:
- The salt water accelerates the healing of wounds, cuts and scrapes, it even dries out chicken pocks and pimples.
- The sand is a natural exfoliator to help peel off those dead skin from your feet and body which gives it that wonderful glow.
- There is no better workout than swimming in the waves, jogging knee high in the water or walking briskly. You will definitely burn tons of calories.
- Who does not enjoy Vitamin Sunshine? Vitamin D is essential for bone health.
It is always great fun watching others Boogie boarding, snorkelling, kayaking, canoeing, wind surfing, surfing, sailing or fishing when you are not busy with these activities yourself.
Life’s A Beach

This is dedicated to my best friend, peewee minta
At the beach, life’s different.
Time doesn’t move,
Waves crash the ocean front,
Kissing my feet.
Sea glass glistens in the sun,
The warm air dances around me
Giving a new start to the world.
The sand tingles under my feet
Like being tickled by love.
Laying on the beach shore,
Tanning the day away.
The tans may fade,
But memories
Never do.
It will be interesting to hear what you love about a beach holiday, so please leave a comment!
