There's nothing better than having your toes in the sand.

All of my life I have lived five minutes away from the beach, until I went to college. I have so many wonderful memories of my mom and I spending hours at the beach, doing absolutely nothing, but having so much fun.

There has never been a time in my life where I have disliked the beach. It's where I go to think, read, hangout with friends and family, and dream. This past summer, my mom and I would wake up and be at the beach before 9 am, and we would stay there for hours. Those were the best days.

Good Harbor Beach is the place where I have taken all my secrets, my worries, and my feelings. It's a nonjudgemental place where I can sit, relax, enjoy myself and my day. It's a place where I can drive to and sit at when I'm having a bad day. It's like a friend that never leaves. I don't have easy access to a beach like I use too. However, once I am home, that will once again be my go to spot. I am so thankful I was able to grow up in a town with such a wonderful view and such beautiful beaches.

The feeling of the warm sand in between your toes and the sounds of the waves are just so calming. There is also nothing like the beautiful sunsets.

I highly recommend finding a place that makes you happy; a place where you can go to when you are feeling troubled and when you want to have fun. It is so good to be able to have a place where I can catch my breath and breathe, and take a break from what life has thrown at me. The beach is my happy place because of the sense of peace and relaxation I feel when I am there. I love having a place I can call my Happy Place.
