10 reasons why living near the sea is good for you

Nothing beats the sun on your face and the sand between your toes.

  1. The weather is ALWAYS better and the beach is ALWAYS nearby. 
  2. You can go swimming or take up surfing.
  3. Sunlight helps the body absorb calcium for stronger bones and a host of other issues. 
  4. It is calming for your soul.

  5. You are never short of photographic opportunities.
  6. You are more likely to exercise more. 
  7. You can enjoy being one with nature – the wind, the sea, the tide, the weather.
  8. You don’t have to dress up. Wearing flipflops and shorts is cool.
  9. You can make bonfires.
  10. Nothing beats sitting on the beach watching the sunset.
