Going To The Beach

What going to the beach means to me?

I absolutely love going to the beach as for me it provides a different world for me to enter. Living within London with its busy atmosphere, people rushing around everywhere, cars zooming past and the constant noise of all this around us, being able to go the seaside gives me that feeling of escapism from the real world. 

Once at the beach there are many things that I love to do. For example, if its a hot sunny day, sun bathing is a must with a good swim in the sea which always makes you feel fresh and renewed. There are other things such as walking along the beach holding your shoes in one hand just paddling in and out the waves while you battle with the wind to keep your hair looking relatively normal, buying chips and ice creams and spending that little bit of quality time with your friends and family before you get back in the car to face reality once again.

Going to the beach isn't all about the sea and sand however, there are many other activities that happen all around us. For example, parents making sand castles with there children, sports activities like beach volley ball and Frisbee intertwined with groups of people of all ages gathering together all to have their own day at the beach doing what they themselves love to do.

Lastly I think for me, going to the beach always help to renew my health and well being. It manages to give you that time away, to be at one with ones self to reflect on any problems or worries you may be having within the real world whilst also managing to provide you with a great day out full of laughter, happiness and distractions with the people you are there with.

This experience that I get when going to the seaside is something that I want to bring to Dartford within the indoor beach. I want to provide that bit of escapism from reality whilst giving people a great day out with there family and friends. Something which I believe many people within this town probably do not get to experience very often.
