Why do people go to beaches?

Question

I go to school in alabama and can't seem to figure out why people like going to the beach so much. For one, the sand is hot, there's not alot to do on a beach, sand gets all over your clothes and in your car.

I think i'd have more fun outdoors in idaho and in the rivers there. But everyone seems to love the beach. I can understand spring break and going to the beach and drinking, but why during the rest of the year?

Anyone wanna explain this to me? Maybe i've lived a sheltered life

Answer 1

I can see why people go to beaches in like Hawaii but here in the U.S I don't know why because the water is nasty.

But a lot of people like to surf, swim, play vollyball and hang with their friends.

The beach probably just isn't your style.

Answer 2

people like seeing others half naked... LMAO!
