do you usually stay on the sand and get a tan? Play volleyball? Play in the beach water? Go in the pool? etc... I think I usually play in the beach water at the beach, but one time I went to this really dirty beach(didn't know it would be dirty) and I stepped on a dead fish. It was so gross. So what do you usually do when your at the beach?

It depends whom I'm with. If I'm with the kids, then it's building sandcastles or playing with the beachball. If I'm alone, then I would look for a shady place (under a palm tree/umbrella), lay down on a beachchair/sand and read a book.

Hey there! When I am at the beach I usually swim together with my friends. Then we do snorkeling, banana boat ride, pedal boat, play frisbee, and drink.lol It's too bad you went on a dirty beach. I love the beach in our place. It's like a paradise with its mile stretch white sand beach. Its sand is very fine like cream. The sea is clear and blue. There are coconut trees and palm trees around. It is so beautiful. I love it there. Have a nice day! Happy posting!!

I do a lot at the beach, in Oregon it's usually to cold to get in the water, and i don't like being in water with all the other critters, but I hunt for shells, wood, look and listen to the sea, whale watch and just hang out, it's very restoring.

definitely swimming and play beach volleyball sometimes when I go with friends. I will lie down and enjoy the sun tan after swimming a while, oh I miss those days... I can't wait for the summer comes!

I live really close to the beach and there is nothing I love more then beach combing . I walk every morning looking for little treasures that the waves have washed up. I collect sea shells, sea glass and other odd things I find .
I don't swim in the ocean though. I worry about a stingray or something getting me ! I swim in the swimming pool instead. I guess I'm a big chicken!
I also love to stand and just look out in the ocean for dolphins. Sometimes you can see them swimming , and thats a real treat!

i love to swim in the ocean and do water activities like snorkeling, parasailing, jet skiing. i also like to lay/sit on the sand while watching the ocean or waiting for the sunset while having a great chat with friends. there was a time when my ex bf and i went to this beach, and there was a storm so we just stay neat the shore. all of a sudden there were plenty of fishes around us. we were so excited i asked him to get a bread from the nearest store and we fed all the fishes. they won't stop circling in our legs! that was very memorable.

My university is so near to the sea, it is just about several steps, you can go to the sea. I will swim in the sea in summer and try to catch some fich without little success. When I have time, sometimes I go to the beach to recite some key knowledge elements.Living by seashore is really good for our health. The climate is good, the environment is good. And we can always feel great facing the great sea.

When i go to the beach i usually just go the the pool or go to the ocean. I like the pool better though because you don't get all sandy. Its so annoying when all your stuff gets sandy. And the ocean water is gross. I've never stepped on a fish before but sometime i do feel the little minnoes swimming around my legs in the ocean. Thats really weird and totally freaks me out sometimes.

I am a stay on the beach, play in the sand, grab me some sun type person. I like watching and looking at the water, but rarely go in more than my feet. I don't like the way it makes my skin feel. I also don't like not knowing what is under my feet, or the way the sand feels when it moves out from under me. I am a pool person, though I live pretty close to the beach.

I love going to the beach. Mostly I like walking along the waters edge and picking up seashells. But I also like to swim in it and lay in a chair and catch a few rays. Where I live in Mexico the water is very clean and clear. I can see the bottom and there really aren't any waves. I have been to some beaches that were dirty and would never think of swimming there.

Well.... before kids, I would go to the beach for the day. Veg out in the chair, get in the water to cool off and veg out again. Walk and look for shells.
Now... with the kids, I load up the truck, pack up the coolers, the toys, the sunscreen, and much more. Then it's off to the beach. Set up the tent, the chairs, get out the toys, put on the sunscreen. Sit in the chair... nope, kids want something to eat, get them something to eat, something to drink, sit back down, nope.... they're done... get back up clean up, now it's time to play in the sand, chase them, rinse them off, play in the sand again... Where's dad??? oh that's right.... he's fishing. what a hard life LOL
Still no complaints. The beach is the beach. It's a great place to go regardless what you do when you're there :-)
