9 Benefits of Going to the Beach
Visit Myrtle Beach

Being from Long Island, going to the beach has been a stable in my life for as long as I can remember. After going as much as I have, I have learned that there are many benefits of going to the beach! It is truly the most magical place on earth, and here is why!

1. It relieves stress.

Being at the beach helps relieves stress by helping you relax and unplug. More often then not there is terrible cell service, so forget about the worries of the outside world and simply enjoy the sand between your toes and the crashing ocean waves!

2. Sand Exfoliates The Skin.

My mother always told me sand was a natural exfoliate and man she was right! Your skin will feel beautiful and soft, once you rinse off of course!
