Beach Day 2022

I have the luxury of living near the beach and every summer I get annoyed with myself that I did not get to the beach often enough. The last few years I have made a more conscious effort to correct this imbalance. I am happy to report I completed my first beach day for the 2022 summer and I was able to squeeze it in before the end of June!  Due to chores, I could not spend the entire day at the beach.  I was up early and was able to get some chores done then headed off to the beach with my youngest.  We went to a different beach that would be more conducive to completing the errands I needed to run on the way home.  The beach at the Cape May State Park fit the bill, with the exception that we would not be able to swim as it is an unguarded beach. You can still walk in the water’s edge and with the current water temperature, that was enough. The sky was blue, the sound of the waves breaking was relaxing, and I read a book at the beach for the first time in I don’t know how many years.  Even just two hours at the beach can have a therapeutic effect, I felt relaxed and recharged.  I am looking forward to more and longer beach days this summer.  Where do you go to recharge and relax?  Please tell me about it in the comments.
