Most people I know, really love to go to the beach specially the kids. Now is it summer and is he perfect time go to the beach for swimming or just relaxing. I love to go to the beach not to swim but just to relax and watch the waves. I don't like swimming in the beach specially when it is hot. I don't want to get burned. It's hard to take out the sun burn. I am so sensitive with the heat of the sun. I got burned easily and really hard to regain my normal skin color. What about you and your family? do you love the beach? or just don't care about it. Just curious to know.

When I was a child I used to love going to the beach. But when I grew up and reached the 20s I stopped liking it because I started getting conscious of my skin. My place is just so hot and I am afraid to have sun burn, I don't look good in tan. I also get tired taking a bath after swimming.

Yeah, that's right. And sunblock don't help darkening the skin, it's just for sunburn. How I wish there will be a sunblock that does both, preventing from getting dark skin and sunburn. But I think that would not be possible for this time. But if you get sunburn, and its painful, put ice and it will remove the pain.

Not until this summer, I discovered I liked going to the beach. And by far, the country I am in has beautiful beaches. I enjoyed the beached, taking pictures, and just relaxing by the beach. Hopefully, with a little help from its inhabitants, the beach will stay clean and be beautiful for years to come.

Well, depends on how hot. But, when I was there it was okay even in the afternoon. I enjoyed the beach and everything.

I just love to go to the beach and spend at lest a couple of hours being and enjoying with nature preferably in the early hours.We can see the sun rising and water waves.
The atmosphere now will be pleasant and it will be an inspiration of developing good and positive thoughts.

hi bussy bee. yes, that is the perfect time to go to the beach, early morning before the sun rises to avoid being burned. And also late afternoon or before dark. Some people go on swimming at night. Night swimming, I did not experience night swimming yet but they said, it is nice.

I live in the midwest and don't get a chance to visit the beaches much. When I do get to visit the ocean, I really enjoy the sand between my toes and the ocean.

Yes, I love going to the beach so much. If I will have a travel again, it is likely that we will go to the beach. My son and husband also love there. It is quite relaxing and lots of fun. I like to play in the beach.
I love China

I love Boracay. It's the most famous beach in my country. The sunset is beautiful. I love the feel of its white, powdery sand on my feet. You can swim at around 5:00 p.m. when the sun is not too hot.

I am a total beach bum, I have to admit. Especially this summer so far. My skin isn't all that fair, but I occasionally will get burnt if I don't reapply sunblock or tanning lotion or if I stay out too long. I like bringing a book to the beach and just laying on a towel, getting my reading and my tan on.

i absolutely love going to the beach! and its more than having a tan. actually, i dont like tanning and i'm scared of the harmful effects of too much sun. but i really enjoy swimming and just staring at the sea and listening to the waves. very therapeutic. my family always goes to the beach and those were truly memorable moments for us. actually, any activity that allows as to commune with nature.... pure love and happiness!
cheers and happy myLotting!

Hi! I'm from the Philippines and summer here in my country will soon be over. This year, I think we had the hottest month summer I've ever encounter. Yes, I love the beach to answer your question. We have plenty of beautiful beaches here in my country, imagine living in country of seven thousand one hundred islands. I love the beach, I love the wind, and the sound of the waves, and the fine sand under my feet just so relaxing. I love swimming in the water, though I don't stay there for long to avoid getting sunburn. Every summer I am hoping to really get a vacation on those beautiful beaches.

Hmmm.. I love the beach actually because it sort of gives me the feeling of being able to enjoy the scenery of nature and at the same time the company of people and everything else. Also I have a hobby of observing at the reactions of people when they are outside doing their own stuff. But sadly where I came from, the beaches are not simply not in people welcoming state so I guess there are not many chance for me to hang out at the beach :(

the beach is the perfect place for me during summer. or even not summer, i prefer beach as my resting place where i can clear my mind from mundane things. i'm not afraid to get sunburned coz i always put sunblock an hour before going to the beach. i really love the beach! it gives me a total freedom when i am there.

I live in a country made up of 7,000+ islands and beaches are everywhere. It's a fun place to go but with all the beaches here, I don't see them as an exciting thing to do anymore.

I love going to the beach. Running through the sand letting the waves wassh over you are great. You have to be careful how much sun you take in while you are enjoying time at the beach with family and friends.

yes i love going to the beach. but i don't like crowded beaches which is always the case in summertime. so i prefer going to the beach during off periods when there are less people. it's more peaceful and relaxing.

Yes, I love going to the beach and I love swimming. I grow up in the province with beautiful white and black sand beaches. I learned to swim at a young age, even before I can read and write...Best time to swim for me,is in the afternoon, around 4 pm, where you can enjoy luke warm sea water and the scenic beauty of the setting sun. Then you can enjoy bonfire and night swimming. But if you want to swim in the morning, be ready with the sunblock, because you enjoyed swimming so much, you'll forget about the time - the sun is smiling directly at you, giving you sunburn!Ü
