On the other hand, I do believe that you have a somewhat rose-coloured viewpoint...As a counterpont to your visions of "sun-baked beaches" and "nicely bronzed bodies", please consider the following:
- South-Easterly winds that howl along the beaches turning the beautiful white beach-sand into a supersonic cloud of carborundum that scours you clean of all flesh
- Bronzed bodies that either weigh in excess of 20 stone or have more hair covering them than a mastodon of years gone by
- Sun-baked bodies, covered with lotions that - in combination with the heat - begin to roast the flesh and cause a stench of burning meat to permeate the seaside - drowning out the other attractions of rotting seaweed, seagull shit, fish corpses rotting in small pools, etc.
- Finally, picture yourself as but one of a milling herd of humanity, all blindly seeking the elusive nirvana created by over-fertile imaginations and that just does not, in reality, exist at all
From my perspective, I'll stick with my swimmin' hole and a nice lounger under a covered patio with a continuous stream of cold lagers to help assuage the effects of heat-stroke.
