We just spent a weekend at the beach and seeing this makes me want to go again lol! I can relate to just being there, the smell, the sound, the heat, the sand, the sea. There were days where we would just go in an instant when we feel like it. Pandemic until now had restricted our travel but the sea always beckons.
Unfortunately, we can't afford to stay longer at sea, as we used to do years ago. It has remained a summer passion and joy.
As long as you can visit every now and then, I guess that's okay :)
