When I am at the beach I swim like a freak! I love swimming at the beach, and I love walking in it too. Nice way to clear my mind of lifes troubles. I also like to body surf. However my last beach experience was around a year ago, I wish I could be at the beach more.
I tend to take very long walks from one end to the other. Good exercise for the body and for the mind.
I've always wanted to do that...but I'm afraid of getting lost here and there considering our beach gets crowded....I would take a phone, but still...there's water and I'm not prepared to spend some money on a waterproof phone or case...
I go into the water. I use a boogie board to ride some waves. (Yes, they make adult sized ones).
I enjoy swimming if the water isn't freezing cold, or I'll just toss a football or a frisbee around depending on how many other people are with me... I can't just sit there, though! I don't understand how people can enjoy themselves by just sitting in a chair on the beach!
Swim mostly. I would like to learn to surf at some point in my life. There was also the time I yelled "SHARK!!!" in the water at a crowded beach.........NOT!
If the temperature is reasonably warm, I'll do this on occasion, but most beaches I visit in northern California are far too cold to go in past one's legs. Not just the water, but the air as well; it gets windy enough so that I'll often have to wear a jacket to said beaches.
In a nutshell, I much prefer the beaches in southern California, Mexico, and especially Hawaii because of the nice warm water. Maybe one day I'll visit the Caribbean and check out the beaches there. I hear the water there is also nice and warm.

How do you get lost on a beach? It's not like you can get turned around and lose your sense of direction. The entrance is always in the same place and there's usually something that marks it.

I don't worry about the water so much as I do the sand. I can't stand the grinding that occurs when sand enters the phone.

You'll understand when you're older. It's a bit strange for me to say that to someone only a few years younger than I am, but you can understand what I mean.

I think it's gotten to the point where people are no longer gullible enough (and Jaws is no longer popular enough) for that trick to work. Still, it would be fun just to see how people would react.
I usually walk the length of the beach, lay down on a towel and read or sleep. Sometimes i build sandcastles because i think i'm five. I'll maybe paddle in the water but i hate sea water and getting it on my hair isn't an option.
Sometimes me and my friends drive up to the beach with a disposable BBQ and meat and just have a BBQ and chill out.
Sometimes we'll bring alcohol and blankets and sleep on the beach over night.
The trick is to where sunglasses and pretend your sleeping. I swim. Im good at swimming. Once I start to swim, I dont stop. If I stop I have to walk onto the beach with all the sand. I hate it when sand sticks to my feet. Hate it.
