I went to the beach a few weeks ago, and it was great. The beach is so beautiful and serene 
I live near the beach, too! It really is great. Although I've been out of town for a while, so I haven't been to it yet this summer. I'm glad you got to go there.
Lucky you to be so close! Yeah, I had so much fun, especially since I could spend a lot of time with my partner and a lot of time swimming! 
Only thing I'm not wild about is dealing with cleaning up afterwards.
