Save the beach

We love going to the beach in summer. Putting on your bikini, lying in the sun, having a refreshing swim in the ocean, walking barefoot… However, when sun shines but not warms, our brain disconnects from the beach until the next summer, and we do not think about it until it starts to get warm again.  But beaches are much more than that.

Beaches are unique places. Water and land get together in a small ecosystem inhabited by many living beings; and they also spend the winter here. You can visit them. We will give some reasons that will make you go the beach during winter season.

If you want to enjoy a beautiful landscape, you have to go to the beach. Sand, water, waves, rocks and the unreachable horizon compose a magical image that could mesmerize anyone for minutes, even hours. You can paint it, photograph it, or you can simply keep it in your memory forever.

Do you like to go for a walk in summer? You can keep on enjoying this activity during winter, but do not wear flip flops; it would be better to put on a good, comfortable pair of shoes, so you can to take a nice walk along the sea, as you leave your footprints in the sand. This feeling, along with the sound of the beach, the sea, the wind, the crashing waves, make you get more and more relaxed as you keep on walking.

You can make some photographs. In summer, taking pictures on a beach always imply to discover unknown guests in our photos. But winter is the right time: a special scenario is at hand, almost exclusively for you. You will be able to take beautiful pictures, since beaches are not crowded in winter.

Would you like to play a game? When summer heat is stifling and beaches are packed with people, it is much more difficult to find some space to play with friends a good football game but, in winter, a huge sports field will be available for you. In fact, you can play other sports in the beach, such as running, volleyball, beach tennis (as you do in summer), but with plenty of space. The most daring ones can even have a swim for a while, but keep in mind you have to dry yourself with a beach towel very quickly, since we do not want anyone to get sick.

Are you one of those who do not like taking pictures, walking or playing sports? No one can resist staring at a sunset –or a sunrise, on the beach. It is up to you to choose who is going to share it with you.

Let’s take good care of our beaches so we can keep enjoying them.
