The last beach I visited was last August when we went to Burntisland in Fife on Niamh's birthday! It was a wonderful day and the trip to the beach finished it off so nicely! Unfortunately I haven't been to the beach this year yet as I am not fit - which is a shame as there are a lot of nice beaches within an hours drive of here! xxx

Ocean City Maryland. I grew up there and we are still within a couple of hours drive. We generally go for a week during the summer and rent a condo with an ocean view. The kids love the ocean and the sand and my 16 year old can watch the younger ones at night if my husband and I want to check out the night life.

Oh, it's a beautiful place. Like I said, I grew up there. It was a wonderful place to be a child and teenager. Of course I guess the same could be said of any beach town.

That is a perfect arrangement. I've been through Ocean City, Maryland before. Didn't get to spend time there.

We recently visited Wallis Sands Beach in Rye NH. We only stayed for the afternoon. It was a day trip for us. I love going to the beach and try to go at least once or twice a year. If I lived closer I would be there more often.

I used to live about 45 minutes inland of the coast of North Carolina. The last time I went to the beach was about 2 years ago for Easter and we had a blast. We rented a Villa at Lakewood Resort in Myrtle Beach and it was the best experience I've ever had at the coast. I guess I'm getting old now and just enjoy more ammenities than a tent or even a motorhome has. Everyone should get a villa when they go to the beach!

Hi makingpots! :) The last beach that I went to was Boracay. It's a paradise! It's haven here in our country, the Philippines. I was there because I was part of our college yearbook editorial team and going to Boracay was an incentive to us after we made our university's yearbook. :) I have not live there, we just went there for fun for 6 days!!! :) It's really a great place! People from other countries even go there to relax and see the beauty of the white sand and the beach. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and God bless! \(",)_

We went to Marion Resevoir to swim last night, because we both had the night off, I like to swim, I need more exercise, and we knew chances were we would have it to ourselves on the weeknight. We were correct, we had fun, got wet, and cool, and away from the house and had a chance to talk and unwind.

Yes you are very lucky. I lived in a beach town when I was in high school. I really miss it. It takes me five hours by car to get to the closest beach to me right now.

The last beach I went to was Jupiter Beach in Florida. My mom lives in Florida so we try to make one trip a year down there. But so far it's looking like we won't be able to go this year. The last time we went was in September of last year. It was so much fun.

i went to the beach a couple days ago. Virginia beach, because that is were i live. Despite living here, i don't go to the beach very much. I have been to the ocean city beach several times, it is pretty fun and if I remember right, it is a lot cleaner.

The last time I went to the beach was a couple of summers ago. I went with my girlfriend for the day to ocean city beach. We sat in the sun and went in the water. Then we walked on the boardwalk. We had a great time.

The last time i went to the beach was around june last year. I was very happy because i finally got to see Boracay and it's white sand beaches. It was a company outing and so i got to ride a plane for the first time!!! wooohooo!!! That's certainly a memorable time for me.

The last beach I visited was Munting Buhangin (small/miniature sand) in Nasugbu, Batangas early this year. We were there on vacation and spend two days. Yup, I had fun and enjoyed it very much.
