Feel the cool sea wind on your face. As you hear the sound of seagulls swarming in the distance, the salt tickles your nostrils…
Yes, the holidays on beach are fantastic. They can, however, be useful and beneficial to the soul. We work hard all year to earn our vacation days, so travel should be a holy experience. A beach vacation, in particular, has therapeutic properties and a unique way of refreshing our perceptions. Here are a few reasons why you should plan a beach vacation for your next vacation.
Sunshine is the best medicine for holidays on beach
We’re all aware of the health advantages of having enough Vitamin D. Being outside in the sunshine is the best and most natural method to get your fill. You just need 15 minutes a day, but you may spend as much time as you like in the Sunshine State soaking up the sunshine. Just remember to bring your sunblock!
REST & RENEWAL
While most people believe that going to the beach depletes you, I believe that it actually provides you with the gift of absolute relaxation. I’m nearly asleep before my head touches the pillow after getting home and showering. Yum. This genuine sensation of rest allows us to return to our daily lives with a refreshed sense of purpose and a clear mind.
We dream in colors borrowed from the sea.
What are your dreams filled with? Calm, relaxing coastal colors? Happy blues and greens? Indeed, coastal waters provide inspiration for life and dreams.
MENTAL WELL-BEING
The soul is nourished by contemplation by the river. The vast view of the ocean water, which psychologists refer to as “blue space,” really relaxes our minds. You’re not alone if you’ve ever sat looking at the water and felt your troubles melt away as a sense of serenity washes over you. The seashore is literally encoded into our DNA.
The waves of the sea help me get back to me.
There’s something calming and reassuring about the steady lapping of the waves. The back and forth of the tide-pulled waters can be soothing to the soul. Take some time out to just be.
EXPLORING THE OCEAN
Snorkeling, surfing, and jet skiing are just a few of the activities available. I could stop right there, but I’m going to continue. Our ocean is a huge playground filled with exciting beach activities. Everyone enjoys aquatic experiences, whether on a romantic Caribbean cruise with your significant other or a family vacation on land. There’s a lot more to the ocean than sunbathing, reading, and napping (though I’d argue those are all good reasons to go).
Sky above, sand below, peace within.
Look up at the cerulean blue sky. Feel the warm sugar sand between your toes. Find inner peace with all of the Gulf Coast beauty that surrounds you. It’s so easy to be relaxed here.
FRESH AIR
The majority of us work in a fluorescent-lit office environment. At least half of us never leave our desks for lunch. Make the terrifying math in your brain. That’s a lot of time spent without any fresh air. If this is your tale, a beach vacation will provide you with the salty-sweet scent, calm air, and sunshine that only a beach vacation can provide.
May you always have a shell in your pocket and sand in your shoes.
This is the perfect beach anthem. Let’s raise a glass to the beach and toast to it beauty and benefits. Cheers!
BEACH TOWNS & ISLAND PEOPLE
If you’ve ever been to a seaside town, you’ll understand what I’m talking about. Everyone is dressed for a beach vacation in shorts, tank shirts, puka shells, and straw hats. There’s always live music and good cuisine, and a grin and a beer are pretty much required. Even the tasks we love may easily complicate our lives. Relax! Life is straightforward. Allow the islanders to serve as a reminder.
