I love everything about the beach! It’s my favorite vacation spot and I’m so ready to go back.

1. The water

It’s always so cold and the color is beautiful. It’s so refreshing after being out in the heat, and it’s super pretty to look at.

2. Crabbing!

I love walking on the beach at night while searching for crabs. It’s so peaceful to hear the waves crash on the shore.

3. Souvenir shops

They may be extremely overpriced, but I love looking at all of the hermit crabs and seeing all of the people getting henna tattoos and hair wraps!

4. Go-Kartin’

The beach is the best place to ride go karts. The tracks are always so fun and more complex than local ones.

5. Build-a-bear!!

I absolutely love Build-A-Bear workshop! We don’t have one local to me, so it’s something i look forward to everytime we go to the beach.

6. The Ferris Wheel at The Wharf

I hate heights, but I love the view from the top of the ferris wheel!

7. The Restaurants

My family plans our vacations around going to eat. There’s so many cool restaurants near the beach and the foods so good.

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
