If it does, do it again.

I also find torturing infidels until they repent to be very relaxing, but that might just be because of my Spanish heritage.

I freely admit, I must get a beach fix once a year. It soothes my soul in a way that I can’t quite explain. I always feel rejuvenated and ready to tackle whatever life throws at me for another year.

I spent last weekend at the beach. The sound of those damn waves kept me awake all night.

It is relaxing as long as someone named Katrina is not coming in to visit.

We go to the beach regularly...While relaxing at times...sometimes at night the ocean sounds to me like a pot about to boil...kinda irritating...but only at night.

I get the same effect by spending a week camping in Ontario or northern Minnesota, listening to the haunting yodeling of the loons at night.

I agree, I think looking out across the ocean or a large lake is extremely relaxing.

Every known form of life requires water. It’s necessary as a solvent to break down proteins and combine amino acids, and also required to transfer nutrients from one part of the body to another. Plus the sea is where all animal life spent most of its time evolving in.

So, people in NYC, Los Angeles, New Oreans should all be very relaxed as they are so near the oceans.

I think sunlight and vitamin D may have a significant contribution to the positive effects felt by going to the beach.

Driving golf balls out into the ocean is very relaxing.

The sound of water, the fresh breezes, etc. is all very relaxing. But I would think that for the majority of people, they are near the shore while on vacation - so relaxing anyway, whether it was at the beach or a golf course in Arizona.

I find freshwater to be more relaxing. I always hate having to shuffle my feet to avoid stepping on a sting ray, or feeling seaweed and thinking it was a jelly fish. Was never too worried about sharks.
