I am allergic to sun block so I try not to be out in the sun for very long unless I wear zinc oxide but that leaves a white film all over my body. I do like to visit the ocean once a year though and where I used to live we would go to the lake a few times a year.
I only visit the Beach when I go on Holiday. I'm not really a big fan of it either. Sure, I do enjoy swimming in the Ocean but I hate the Sand. It's too H A W T
I live far inland, surrounded by desert, so I don't get to a beach very often. The last time was 2017 when I was in Hawaii. The sound of the ocean is probably one of my favorite things, especially as you're falling asleep.
I don't like sand, though. It's coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere!
