I'm a beach lover. I love the sand and the sun. When I want to unwind from this quagmire called work, my first option is always going to the beach. Its like a therapy. It relaxes your body, revitalize your spirit and you get to commune with nature. I love the sounds of the waves, it lulls me to sleep. I love walking in the sand, alone and barefooted. It give me the chance to meditate and reflect on my life. I love watching the sun sets and see its reflection in the waters. It reminds us that another day has passed, and after darkness tonight, the sun will surely rise tomorrow. How about you, do you also love the beach as much as I do?

Yes I do. I love the beach because of the panorama where all four life elements are naturally well bonded. The water, earth, fire and air. Water relates to the sea, fire for sun, earth be the sand and air is the sea breeze. Amazing.

Hi goodsign! I have't realized it that way that there are four life elements present in the beach. That was neat, thanks.

I was born on the shores of the Pacific, lived many years in a country that was also on the Pacific and then lived a few more years in an island in the Caribbean, so I have always been close to the see. But now I live in Austria, a landlocked country and I really miss the sea, not to go swimming or to do anything, just to see it, the horizon and its blue colour! In German the word for lake is "see" and they have a saying that goes something like when I see this "see", I dont need to see the sea. But lake or no lake, I definitely need to see the sea! Not to have the sea close almost hurts!

Sure I love the beach. I go there even when it's not summer. I like having a massage on the beach too. I like just to sit on a beach chair, drinking coconut juice and listening to the waves. The terrible part of this is seeing other girls wear swim suits and strutting their stuff. Don't get me wrong, I think I have the body to do that too but I just don't have the guts. I feel really shy so I haven't done that in my life. Well, let's say, I have worn a swim suit---under a T-shirt and shorts (LoL)

I would have to say yes I do love the beach. I havent been there in a couple of years or so. Due to some health problems. I love to just sit on the beach and watch the water and the kids play in the water. Its so relaxing. I plan on going to the beach next season for sure.

Yes! I definitely love the beach. I think that's even the reason why my skin color is medium brown from having a light brown skin. Ever since I was young, I already am in love with the beach. I love the waters, the view of the sea. I love to swim. As far as I can recall, when I was still little, I used to swim for like starting 9:00 a.m in the morning and end up to about 3:00-5:00 p.m in the afternoon. Even though my skin color is this medium brown now, I still love the beach. Even though I am preventing myself from swimming extensively like before, I don't know but I just still have it inside me .. I love the beach and everything about it,. :( I miss it already.

I'm afraid I'm not a beach person. I'm more of a forest person he he he...I dislike the balmy air of the beach and the sand stuck on my feet. I know it's weird 'coz lots of people love beaches, but I don't. I love forests and picking up berries in the forest and then coming home to have a LONG sauna. :-)))) MMMMM...SPLENDID!!!

There is nothing I would rather do than go to the beach. If I could, I would live, work and play on the beach for the rest of my life. Unfortunately it snows 8 months a year here, so I have to have an apartment for those times!

Hi! No, I do not. Few reasons: I do not like sun light. They not good for your skins, it can give you disease, and freckles. And I really not fancy to know that I will have sands on my feets/toes. I prefer to have my feets clean. And I really do not like the idea that my shoes will be full of sands. LOL. Difficult to clean it. LOL.

I adore the beach - there's something soothing about hearing waves crash onto the shore, even during a violent storm. The air always smells so fresh, and it's peaceful and refreshing to walk along the sand at dawn or dusk.

Yeah, I love being at the beach. Especially when there are not so many people there, I can feel the peaceful surrounding and enjoy the scenery. I like strolling along the beach with my husband especially at night where the temperature is cool and the area is quiet. We can only hear the sounds of the waves and the breeze of air. Such a luxury to be able to be at a beach. I really love beaches.

I LOVE the beach. Its fun. I love the water at my feet, and the sand in my toes. I also love the smell of the ocean and how it sounds. We are moving to where there are no beaches, but for now I still can say I love them and always will. Who doesnt love the beach?

Hi milkfish. Well, generally I love beach as well!! But for sure, it's not as much as you do. I like the feeling of the wind, it gives me sense of peace. However, I don't really have a lot of times to be in beach and in fact no one want to give me any companion. Haha.

I love the beach. It shows me that nature is still in controll over beuty. The air at the ocean calms me down. I always feel like a new person after I spent a few minutes at the ocean. It refreshes me and makes me relize taht there is more to life than just work.
