Re: Does anyone else HATE the beach?

Too funny - DH and I were just discussing this this weekend. I don't like NY beaches. I'm spoiled by Carribean beaches.

ETA: I don't HATE the beaches here, I just don't LOVE them or LOVE going to them.

Re: Does anyone else HATE the beach?

Since I pay a fortune to live less than a mile to the beach here in CA- I guess I do really love the beachChat Icon

But the beaches here are so different- bigger, not crowded, you don't have to pay anything to get on them, no smoking allowed and no garbage. I just wish the water was a little warmer.

same with me- and I used to live ocean front in Long beach- and would still prefer to live on the water

I just love to lay out by the pool- I wont go in ocean water- so when I get hot- I love to jump in the pool

Re: Does anyone else HATE the beach?

Same as many of the other posters...I WILL NOT go to the beaches around here because I think they're just disgusting. However, i absolutely LOVE to laze around on the beach in say...Cozumel. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I like the beach at dusk, so peaceful and romantic. I hate the heat with the crowds during the day!

I don't care for it either. I take my kids to the community pool. So much cleaner. I hate sand everywhere... Plus I like being in the shade, I am not a sun worshipper at all!

Re: Does anyone else HATE the beach?

I grew up 15 minutes from Jones Beach, and I never really liked going because you have to walk really far along the sand (in your flip flops, getting hit in the back by sand) to get anywhere near the water.
I really hate being hot and sweaty too.

When it's cooler though, I love the beach and also love Carribbean beaches, but I'm still not the type to lay out for hours and hours.

Not a fan of the beach. Once a year is fine for me. Love the pool though.

Re: Does anyone else HATE the beach?

I don't hate the beach but get annoyed with it sometimes because of bringing all the sand home and in the car and all.

I hate the beach. I hate the sand, salt, sun, water, actually everything about it. It's too hot and I feel disgusting when I leave there. I don't mind the pool though.

Re: Does anyone else HATE the beach?

I am much more of a pool person than a beach person. The sand and salt water annoy me. I do enjoy the caribbean beaches on vacation, b/c the sand is so soft and the water is so clear, but I'd still rather sit by the pool most of the time.

DH LOVES the beach. He grew up near Jones Beach and he still loves going there, but it's too crowded and dirty for me.

Re: Does anyone else HATE the beach?

I hate the crowded public beaches, but DH's parents have a beach house on an island near here that you have to boat to, and I LOVE the beach there. We are always the only ones there and it is so quiet and peaceful...The way the beach was meant to be.

A pic of DH and our nephew at the beach house beach yesterday!

[I feel the same way.

The amount of sunscreen I have to put on, then to drive all the way there, then to get out of the car and TRECK all the way down in the blazing heat-- IDK, I just have no desire.

It's pretty nice once I get there but I never go in the water and it's not worth it just to sit on the beach-- esp for someone who does not tan!



OMG, same here. I thought it was just me!!!! Its so not worth it, the sunscreen, the wind, the crowds, dont get me started!!

Re: Does anyone else HATE the beach?

I get too antsy to enjoy the beach, lol! The first time I really enjoyed myself was in hawaii...it just felt peaceful and different. BUT i can only tolerate the sun for maybe an hour. Never understood people that are content laying out in the sun for hours, it boggles my mind (Carol you know i'm talking about you!! Chat Icon )

For us freckle faced light skinned people, the beach stinks!
