Sea Side

Everyone needs to understand my passionate relationship with the sea. I cannot swim, but I love the atmosphere. The sounds of the waves crashing on the sand, and if you listen carefully you can hear the sand particles washing against each other. It's beautiful. I honestly believe I belong on the beach.

 The following snaps are from Consett Bay, Barbados

Beach Bum

When I sit back and think of the places I would like to live or spend the rest of my life I always visualize a beach. I am fortunate enough to live on a tropical island and of course Hollywood is not wrong for portraying all islands as beaches, palm trees and coconuts. I live about 15 minutes driving at 40 km/ph from the nearest beach. That's considered far in my mind, but then again, small island people mentality.

Teehee. 

Regardless, I love the feeling of sand between my toes, using sand as an exfoliate, tan lines, salty water. It's simply beautiful. I love the sweet calm beaches of the Caribbean Sea, but then love the voracity of the Atlantic Ocean beaches. The dangerous and unpredictable nature of the waves simply make me happy. But I can't bathe in them unless I'm searching for certain death with my inability to swim. Another myth busted! When I'm stressed a quiet visit to the beach always makes me happy. Grab a blanket, some sunnies, sunscreen, a few light snacks and drinks and vroom vroom! Beach time! 

Here are some pictures of some Caribbean Beaches I've visited ranging from St. Lucia to Barbados. 

Perks of being an Island Girl #1

I decided to do a mini series as to why the Caribbean or any tropical country is a great place to live. The first major perk is......

THE BEACH

Yes, I'm surrounded by pristine waters and golden and charcoal sand beaches. I love the beach. It's like the best place to relax. And since there are soo much beaches in St. Lucia, you can choose and you can go there whenever you like (I live about 20 minutes from the beach). Sometimes you can even be creative to find secluded beaches.

I absolutely LOVE the beach. I know you would to!

I'm no photographer, but the sun was setting and everything was so calm and serene.
