I have always loved the beach. I can remember being a child and being at Coney Island and Rockaway and Sunken Meadow and a few beaches in Croatia. As I grew up and started to drive, my exploration of beaches expanded. Jones Beach became my favourite, to the point I purchased a New York State Parks pass practically every year, because it was cheaper to do that then pay every time I wanted to go. I loved going to Provo, and especially Aruba, that water was so warm and inviting. I've swam in the Atlantic, the Adriatic and the Caribbean. Moving to Australia made me see how many beaches there are here. The one thing I noticed is how beautiful they are, the other thing I noticed is that they are all FREE! Doesn't matter which beach we decide to go to, it's free. Find a parking spot and enjoy the day.
