I like the beach, the sand, the sea, the water. What do you like about the beach?

I like beaches as well...

But everything near them is so expensive...

I like standing on the shore and letting my feet sink into the wet sand, and watching the water as it flows around my feet.

I love the beach! I love the sound of the ocean, the breeze at night, the warmth, the sand, it's so exciting.

I'm landlocked so the beachs I see are river, pond, or lake beachs.

I find it relaxing to watch the river current pass. And exciting to watch ice floes (spelling?) come down stream in spring.

I like that too. I also like walking along just in the shallows and looking down at the patterns made by the waves receding. It sends me dizzy but I like it.

I am fascinated by the sea and the British coastline in particular ~ I have lots of photographs I have taken of waves and rocks by the sea.

It is one of the few environments I feel completely relaxed in.

Possibly because it is an environment that doesn't care if you have AS or what........... It is more powerful than anything we can come up with. Even nukes don't beat the ocean.

I like the beach, but I hate the sand in my shoes afterwards.

Sitting around a fire at night after swimming all day and checking out the things living in the tidepools.

I love watching waves breaking and greatly enjoy viewing and contemplating the sea. Walking along a secluded beach is also nice, if there is a dearth of humans. I can enjoy that type of beach visit, as long I don’t get wet.

Going to a crowded beach populated with sunbathers and screaming kids is something I would do my best to avoid.

I don't think I ever really understood the concept of beaches. Or it could just be that, when I was young and lived in San Francisco [sniff], the water was just so cold that it pretty much turned you off from going in it at all. Since I never developed an attachment to the beach there, I never bothered to try the waters of the Atlantic.

Same here, TAFKASH. If I try my best to ignore the people, the beach can be somewhat enjoyable... but I always get burnt. So I don't ever go. The beach at night is fun, though.

If you study wicca you will use seasalt
as a purifier, and it is most effective
as a natural substance.

the beach during a ritual is as nature
intended, It cleanses the physical body,
and you feel the high-pro-glow of
clairity that comes from this cleansing.

The waves will ripples and create natural
sound, and fluent formations that constantly
change, as one does in life. It is a constant
change in sound, the texture of the water
will meld with your feet first, and the sound
coresses you. The coolness of the water
causes a adaption to your body and you
feel as one with this, as if your part of
the natual element.

You feel like children do, free without barriers
and restraint being one with it's splashes and
currents, playful from within.

The best beaches I have seen were the nude
ones that remove these physical constraints
called clothing, and everyone is imperfect in
one way or another but don't care. Oh! the
freedom of the beach as I see it, whether in
a physical bathing suit, or in the nude.

Well, this is my view of a beach.

Sincerely,
Ghosthunter :P
