Beach trips were lots of fun back when I was 10 and I enjoyed playing in the water with the other kids, but they’re not very interesting now that I’m an adult who doesn’t particularly like swimming. (I’d rather be somewhere air-conditioned.) At least I do swim - I don’t understand people who come to the beach without any intention of getting into the water.
Just had a weeklong beach vacation. We sat on the beach once for about half an hour before the sun was too much. We mostly just took morning and evening walks on the beach. We’re not really swimmers either, which was good because the surf was fucking lethal pretty much every day. Once day the waves were reaching the dunes and pooling past the high-tide line. Kids were constantly swimming and it was incredibly dangerous. I think most days were red flag and the “nice” ones were yellow.
The beach is pretty awful these days and we aren’t even that far south.
