What do you like to do at the beach?

I admit the beach doesn't enthrall me since I grew up in Hawaii, but don't hate me for that. :) I love forests but people who grew up in one may not find them as fascinating as I do.



Today I'm taking my Zondervan editor to the beach in Santa Cruz. I've only ever been to one Santa Cruz beach and I don't remember which one it was, so I went on Yelp and decided on Natural Bridges State Beach since it had a lot of good reviews. I hope it'll be fun!



So when you go to a beach, what do you do? I've only ever gone swimming but the water's probably too cold right now, plus it's northern California so the water will never be as warm as Hawaii. Sunbathing only makes me hot and itchy. What do you guys like to do?
