I Love the Beach

@missit15 I have to say, the mountains are a GREAT alternative to the beach, LOL!!

@MrGoodbar Yes, still live close enough to visit often. I guess you love the beach as much as I do....

@Stereoguy SG...I wish It was right now!

@JarJarBoom Close enough for a road trip, true?

@FunTime well..its not good swimming water.

@JarJarBoom Understand that. Usually there for the rays and tanning. Use the water to cool off, mostly.

@Ellen Great way to get your exercise in! What a great time you have! I see a lot of people jogging on the beach when I go, but I'm just laying there soaking up the sun rays, lol.

@FunTime That's fun too!

@Ellen That's my relaxation time and the "alone" time to find peace for myself!

@Stephanieuk Lucky Lady!! I have an hour's drive, but gt there as often as possible!!!...

@SW-User My grandmother's farm has a lake and that is where I spent my summers. LOVED it!!

@Keepitsimple I hate that! People should appreciate and respect the privilege of using the beach and just clean up after themselves, if nothing else!! The tourist season is probably a nightmare for you!!

@FunTime They don’t....it’s really a shame that people take everything with them but their trash and are rude and careless that way. I used to get mad paying for beach badges but I’m so glad that these people have to pay now...somebody has to clean up after them.

That curbs some of that trashiness. Most places here you have to pay and no longer able to drive on the beach. A lot of people walk the beach and that's better. The exercise does us good!!!

@DragonFruit YOU MUST stay tan year round!!!! 😎

@FunTime No, it gets cold & even snows here....so I am generally tan only during the warmer months (though it may hang on for a little while, the tan will fade).

@DragonFruit Oh, so short summers where you are?

@Elandra77 An overnight stay for you I guess...or the whole weekend!!!

@FunTime Hardly ever is more like. Once every 5 years or so. Then for 4 or 5 days. Bad as traffic is on Saturday going home it is far worse Sunday. And it sucks to leave on a Saturday.

@Elandra77 Totally understand the traffic nightmares!!! I try to take off work during the week to go to avoid that. Fewer people during the week so it's easier to find a more secluded spot.

@R5000 On the Gulf of Mexico. Depends on how far you want to walk down the beach to find a secluded spot!

nude beach?

@R5000 No...but again, it depends on how far you want to walk and how secluded the spot is that you choose, lol. 😂

@exexec A Beautiful drive I bet!!!!

@iwritestories Love it!!! Can I come stay with you on the weekends? LOL!!!

@FunTime I suppose :)

@iwritestories LOL! Well, thank you for saying that! 😀😂

@Dusty101 Guess you get there as often as you can, too,huh? 😎

@FunTime I do.. most evenings. If the weather stays dry.

@Dusty101 I envy you!!!.....😊

@FunTime no not every day.

@FreeSpirit1 At least it's right there when you DO want to go! Thanks for responding. btw!

@FunTime yes it's convienent 😎

@jackson55 Yes, it's warm already. A tropical depression around the Yucatan that may bring a lot of rain this weekend. The water was actually blue for a few days due to the shift in the ocean waves. A wonderful change for the Gulf waters!

@FunTime I've never been to the gulf, close. Rode my motorcycle to southern Texas to see a friend.

@jackson55 Well, Texas IS a big state! I've had friends that were going to come for a visit and they would want to visit all the cities in Texas. I would tell them "You're going to need to take more than a WEEK off then!" LOL

@calibeachnudist It's the same way for me. I live close enough to go often and enjoy strolling the shoreline to find more secluded areas.

@metaldog I bet that's true! I envy you! 😎

@FunTime wel come visit anytime 😊

@metaldog I would LOVE that! 😍

@GuitarMan She's a smart Lady, LOL! 😉

[@ I hope to get some photos of the lava flow on the big island if I can get near it.

@Khenpal1 Especially weekends, I'm sure! With school out, it only gets worse, too!

@FunTime yes and weather is hot , so I enjoy going there early mornings or something like 21pm

@Khenpal1 The weather IS so hot these days! I have to drive to get to the beach so it's better when I can take a couple of days off during the week and rent a room on the beach. Less crowded and I'm right there first thing in the morning.

@melbeacher Is it cold where you are now?

@FunTime Not at all. I am in FL

@melbeacher There are a lot of great beaches in Florida. Staying warm there these days?

@MarineBob Those count, too!!!...😀

@Stereoguy Beautiful photos!!!! 😍
