For my own part, I definitely avoid crowded beaches... I much prefer seeing them from afar (circa 400yds is often quite close enough) from the deck of a small boat... With sails, but no engine, there is usually enough peace and quiet to feed my soul, and the natural sail-driven speed of the boat gives a very satisfying feeling of being "tuned into" the elements...

Naturally steering a boat is rather more pleasant when the hand guiding the tiller can feel pleasant sunshine on it, rather than "rheumatism-inducing" biting cold temperatures!...

PS: A Polish friend's wife last week-end announced that she was disgusted since I already had a better tan than she could manage when she was returning from holiday... I simply commented that somewhere along my blood-line there was propably a generous dose of "Gyppo" blood to account for the speed at which I obtained a tan...
