Why do people go to the beach? Why is it such a big attraction during the summer? Everybody has different answers to these questions. The beach is a big thing to me for a number of reasons. The first reason is because it is a place I have been going to ever since I was younger. My parents met at the beach and grew up in beach towns. The beach is apart of them and they thought to share this special place with me. Not all the time, but most of the time people stick to things that are familiar to them. My cousin came to visit my family and me this summer from Kansas. He has only been to the beach twice in his life. So when we took him to the beach this summer he was so excited and fascinated by it. He wanted to go to the beach everyday and that’s what we did. The beach is such a familiar thing in my life I don’t even think twice about it. So seeing my cousin get excited about it opened my eyes at how many people don’t get to experience the beach. But being away from home and at college for two months has made me realize how important it is to me and how big of an impact it has had on my life.
The beach is also a huge part in my life and I’m sure in other people’s lives because it is relaxing. The sound of the waves crashing on the shore, the sand between my toes, and just having a great time with friends and family is the best part. The beach is a getaway for some people. The beach is also a symbol that signals school is out. When people think of summer they think of the beach. The beach is the place where people go to enjoy themselves.
People go to the beach for the different activities you can do there. You can go swimming in the ocean. Go parasailing, running, party, and fishing. A popular beach near me has an arcade, aquarium, rides, and mini golfing. There is always something to do. From the activities listed or to just relax with friends and family. The beach holds a number of ways for you to enjoy yourself. You can always find things that interest you at the beach. Every summer I do this surf camp that the beach I go to offers. I have been going for years because I wanted to get involved in an activity instead of lying on the beach getting a tan.
There are so many other reasons why people like to go to the beach and everybody is different. There are plenty of different things that people can get into. If you can’t find something enjoyable to do or you don’t like the beach you aren’t looking hard enough. There are plenty of reasons to like the beach and I understand that some people just don’t like the beach, but there are plenty of activities around the beach to do also.
