Beach Anyone?

Did you have a favorite beach as a child? we used to go to Grand Beach, on a windy day there were nice big waves, sandy hills to run around was fun

When I turned around 16 we used to go to a old gravel pit, was very secluded , nice deep spring fed clear water, went there for years. till I moved away

I can remember being at the beach in Cobourg, and the monarch butterflies blotted out the sky. There used to be so many of them

There was a backroad with huge bumps, and my friend’s dad would speed up so our stomachs went up and down. Had a blast

Ocean City, Maryland. I miss it.

I haven’t been to a beach since gaining weight. I used to have a washboard stomach.

Used to go to Santa Cruz beach & boardwalk as a kid. Found a better beach for swimming up north in Aptos. During summer vacation me and my friends were there every week. Bring a radio, a bag lunch, some pot and maybe some beer and a frisbee and a towel and stay there from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Long Beach, Washington…

We’d go camping by there every summer and my parents would always buy me hermit crabs in town.

Last I went to a beach it was in Cuba. It was paradise. Unlimited food, fresh coconut, drinks inside the coconut, unlimited drinks, I drove a motorboat, a bar inside the water, did scuba diving, safari 4x4 trip and other activities. I remember the worker there yelled at me when I took his machete and cut a fresh coconut lol He said I can injure myself or someone.

As a child I have fond memories of spending summers at Gooseberry beach in Rhode Island.

There’s a beach on the Long Island Sound in Connecticut that I grew up going to, as a little kid and as a young adult. I think I like it the most because it’s very familiar to me and full of memories.

The spring fed dugouts are The Best. I grew up next to Sylvan Lake, which was very nice. Also had ready access to Pine Lake, which was just okay (and can also be a tornado magnet).

The rocky beaches in Homer Alaska were very unexciting. The beach in Florida was fun though it wasn’t Daytona but close to it.

I like the beaches on Lake Superior. Scuba dived from one of them during my open water certification. Twas fun.

Shell Beach at Bodega Bay in Northern California, it’s little rocks not sand. I don’t care for sand. And the little rocks are beautiful. Each one is polished and rounded by the waves, all different vibrant colors, even some colored glass.

We have a couple of good beaches near where I live. However we also have box jellyfish (and other things) in the water most of the year, and no real surf to speak of, so we don’t get a lot of swimmers and the beaches are usually fairly empty. Sometimes people do bonfires on the beach in the evenings during our dry season.

I like walking on the beach, the sound of the water and the breeze. Very calming.
