I’m a beach person.
I love swimming in the ocean. I know things are going great in life when I’m finding that I’m fitting in a morning or a sunset dip in the ocean.
I love doing an ocean race in the summer. Bondi to Bronte, Cole Classic, Coogee Wedding Cake Island, and Cockatoo Island are a few I’ve slayed slowly and steadily survived so far.
I prefer a surf beach most of the time but I still enjoy a nice bay or even a lake.
In my beach bag
- Sunscreen – both a chemical and a zinc/mineral one
- A lightweight towel. I like those lightweight Turkish towels
- Goggles. I’m an ocean swimmer
A long day at the beach
- A huge umbrella
- Wind shade. I came across these in Portugal and bought this one in USA. Ugly but so useful if the wind can’t be avoided! (San Francisco)
