Some people prefer mountains, deserts, or woods…but the beach is where I belong. The ocean is an immediate stress reliever. Hearing the waves crash, sticking your toes in the sand, all while getting a tan is literally the best thing ever. As soon as I breathe in that salty air and feel that ocean breeze in my hair I instantly become more calm and never want to leave. The truth is, life is simply better at the beach. And that’s a fact.

The beach is full of endless possibilities, even though it’s literally just sand and salt water. I feel like it’s just impossible to be bored at a beach. Build sand castles and sand art, work on your tan, swim in the ocean, even walk the boardwalks if your favorite beach has one. There is always something to do and it’s always relaxing.

“Hi my name is (insert name here) and I like long walks on the beach”. Is this not true for everyone though?! Just picture the waves crashing around your feet and the sun setting on the water. There’s nothing more relaxing. Whether you’re with some friends or family, significant other, or even just enjoying the scene by yourself, there’s nothing more peaceful than the things that surround you at the beach.

Growing up on the east coast, the beach was my favorite part of the summer. No matter what, memories are made at the shore. With all the treasures you find, exploring the rocky coast of the Northeast, laying on a blanket in the warm sand, and the people you spend that time with leaves you with memories that last a lifetime.

When the stress gets to you or you simply just feel like relaxing, the beach should be at the top of your list. Relaxation is inevitable once you see sight of the shore. The ocean is calling, and you must go.
