Question For Today- Do You Enjoy The Beach or Lake ?

@JudyEv I love lakes, we are so close to the lake here, we often have a walk by the lake.

Same as you Judy, I am not a water person, my husband likes the water more, but more the lake than the sea or the ocean.

@LadyDuck Lakes and gentle streams suit me more than beaches.

Walks on the beach is one of my favorite things to do when visiting beaches.

@LadyDuck There is a beach in Florida that we like. It is New Smyrna Beach. It is a great beach to walk on. People will also run on it.

@LeaPea2417 I loved to walk on those sandy beaches in the Bahamas.

@dgobucks226 No sea glass

What type of treasure? Pirate buried treasure, lol. The beach in September here is nice and quiet. Tourism ends and you can enjoy a nice barefoot walk on the sand.

What do you enjoy most about the beach? One of the best things is not having to get all dressed up to go

@dgobucks226 Yes Minnesota is very much known for its lakes and there are about 10,000 or 12,000 or maybe more now. I have no idea. I had a favorite one I loved to go to and ride my bike around and get some sun and took a picture and brought it with me. No, I do not miss Minneapolis. It was clean and green but boring. How are you? I missed you here. We moved and I hope my Sophie is happy here. I love it here. I remember when I still lived in the States and traveled to Las Vegas twice with a friend that lived in Arizona I loved to watch the people. I used to sit on our porch on our Sabbath and watch the families go up and down our hill. Now, I look for animals and there are many here. Some dogs come up to me and others just go past me. I bet that is amazing to watch the surfers. Do you live close to the beach that you go? I would have to go take about two buses if I wanted to go so do not go and sit out in the sun at home so can be close to my cat. You are so right you do not have to dress up to go to the beach. I love to put on nice things on our Sabbath. I take two walks now and enjoy them very much. Things are good and bad here where we moved. I believe that is all I will say because there are watchers that like to know what I say or write.

@Hannihar Thanks so much for your response. Glad to hear things are going alright for you. Walking is great exercise. I enjoy walking along the boardwalk for 30 minutes most evenings. I've been busy with other things so I'm not as active as before. But I still manage to put in some time most days on My Lot. I usually post something every Saturday. It's most important to enjoy where you live and be comfortable there. Fortunately, you've found some thng that are good where you are. I live a short car trip 15 minutes from the beach so in the warm weather I take advantage. I also like riding my bike through the towns and by their lakes. Nice scenery and like you I enjoy watching people as I ride. Never been to Las Vegas but have been to Atlantic City. But I would think Vegas is much better for tourists. Oh yes, the surfers are excellent. They even have a professional surfing tournament here in September. Well, you take care and I'm sure I'll come across one of your posts.

Hello Hanni! Hope all is well with you. I am also a people watcher in between reading my favorite magazines. I enjoy watching the surfers catch waves and the gulls circling overhead. Just a very relaxing time. Isn't Minnesota known for it's many Lakes? Another benefit of going to the beach not having to get all dressed up to go

@dgobucks226 So cool! Did you get to see any of the other Keys? So beautiful.

@LindaOHio No, wish we could of gone to the end. Quite a long drive over water with a very low bridge. I think we all got spooked after awhile, and wanted to explore and camp, lol.

Good one! Lots of scenery and wildlife to check out there I went to Marathon once on Spring break in college. Spacious beaches and beautiful sights!

@dgobucks226 no shark?

@hotsummer No shark attacks by me are rare. Only six shark attacks have occurred since 1975, and all of those were non-fatal, according to the Shark Institute.

One of the best things about water is the swimming and cooling off on a hot day

@dgobucks226 I just like to walk on the beach we have a beach that has hard sand you do not sink in and the riverside has ducks

What do you enjoy about going there?

@RasmaSandra Very nice! A wildlife walk

@dgobucks226 During the last family reunion with my grandfather, my mother's family came out with their water toys. My uncle had a boat with water ski equipment. He let everyone have a try except for those too young. My cousin was a natural. I went down soon after I got up.

Sounds like you have fond memories there. I remember visiting my cousin and trying water skiing at their lake. Not very good at it but it was fun trying. Water activities like boating or surfing are popular ways to have fun and cool off at the beach on a hot summer day.

@just4him Ha, ha.. Similar to my experience. Although I came close!

@dgobucks226 It was very nice for the reasons you mentioned. Too bad River Sea beach was closed a few years ago since the land in the area is now occupied by new apartments.

@Deepizzaguy Yea, progress has ruined many a scenic areas

That sounds really nice! And peaceful too Where I go I enjoy watching the boats on the water and the surfers riding the waves.

@dgobucks226 Yes, I know. Yet, I have also been dressed to the nines while out on the beach or offshore on a boat at cocktail parties.

@Chellezhere Oh nice! Welcome aboard No shoes no shirt no party

Cooling off in the water is one of the best things to do. Other benefits; not having to get all dressed up to go, and watching the boats on the sea.

@dgobucks226 Yes, it is indeed.

Yes, that's always fun. Packing a picnic lunch and enjoying the water. I find reading an enjoyable thing to do also.

I'll put you down as a "no preference" then

@porwest Of course not... If all the answers were the same what fun would that be? Variety is the spice of life so they say

@dgobucks226 lol. I mean, if I want to go fishing, I will go to a lake. Unless I want to go deep sea fishing, then I might go to the ocean. If I want to swim, a lake is probably more suited to that while the beach is better for wading. I mean, is there really a simple answer here? lol

One of the best things about water is going in and getting wet

@dgobucks226 True indeed

Yes, I do too. Other benefits of going to the beach: making sandcastles, not having to get all dressed up to go, water activities like boating or surfing and cooling off on a hot summer day.

One of the best things is walking along the water's edge. Looking out at the boats in the water, watching children playing in the surf, and feeling the water cooling my feet as I walk is very relaxing. And very uplifting!

@dgobucks226 Yep - love all that !

That's just too funny, there's little to no water in the Rio Grande.

I would suggest taking a ride down to the Rio Grande river to cool off but I imagine it's really crowded with unwelcome visitors these days.

Nothing like looking out at the boats on the lake floating along on calm waters. Very peaceful for sure! I enjoy the beach still but definitely went in the water more as a kid than now. Body surfing was a lot of fun and building sand castles. I also enjoyed the lake spending time fishing off the pier and attempting to water ski, lol.

Do you ever collect the seashells? My Mom used to create art with the seashells she collected. And finding a large shell that you can put up to your ear and hear the sound of the quiet roar of waves crashing on a distant beach is really cool!

Yes, during in season the beach can become very crowded. Weekends are a mob scene where I live. One benefit of going to either place, you don't need to dress up to go

@dgobucks226 Very true.
