This is much better. More private, gives you a special kind of freedom. Beaches can be wonderful, but I'd take having a boat over going to the beach anytime. You can feel the power and the beauty of the sea in a much better way

I know that beach.
That's either Lido Beach or Siesta Key beach. I've been there countless times.

oh wait. The name on the link gave it away.


It's Siesta Key beach.



Many, many maaaaany good memories at that beach.

So yay is my answer.

There are no beach's in Nebraska I used to live in california for a few years and I go visit my son as much as I can there so I have been to the beach, so mines a YAY!

Love beaches! ...As long as the sand has been recently raked. I've been to some beaches where navigating broken glasses, various... um... organic wastes and even things like half-buried hypodermic needles make the mall seem a far better family outing.

Me on the beach in Tobago:



My bf right in front of his shop on the beach in Trinidad:


I never was and never will be a beach person. I don't like water too much, so I don't go swimming. I have been to many amazing beaches in my life all over the world (especially the ones in south Africa were breath-taking), but I don't tan at all and don't feel comfortable in the sun. Everybody stares at me because I am so pale. But having spent so much time on the beacc with my bf this winter I have grown to like them at last.

I'm a cancer, I need to live near a beach, at least during the spring/summer...

I know the second picture is Cape Town, but where is the first picture taken?

MacDaddy said:

I wouldn't have recognized Capetown even though I was there. The second pic reminds me of Livorno which is really beautiful . But I don't think it's Livorno.

MacDaddy said:

yeah, the second one is CT, and the first one is Tossa de Mar, (near Barcelona), the village of my ex ; beautiful beach/village but extremely expensive

I always want to have a house where you could walk right out onto the sand.



With great big windows..

I don't like getting in the water either but do like laying out in the sun. I love staring out into the huge ocean, looking at the beautiful sunsets, just taking it all in

But you have a beautiful tan, that's differnt.
I like beaches as long as the sun is not burning down too much . I stopped laying out in the sun for good as it makes no sense to me as I never get a nice tan anyway and it will just give me wrinkles in the long run. I have seen so many tourists getting sunburns in the last months on the beach, it was crazy . All these people coming to a tropical beach in the middle of winter and laying down in the sun for hours totally pale and some of them not even using protection and then they are surprised if they get a sunburn . Some people are just so stupid .
