[cityzen]

you needed to make it deeper

the deeper you go the closer you come to the sea level

Pro tip

Dad surfing.

Yes! This brought back memories. My dad that is, not yours obviously... That'd be weird

Hermit crabs
Seeing sandcastles destroyed and so learning the transient nature of all things
My Grandma and Grandad

[BNanni]

1) My brother trying to teach me how to skateboard along the seafront
2) Finding fossils along Freshwater East (The only place I've got a tan) and later hearing Welsh bagpipes.
3) Nearly drowning - not exactly a top memory, but one nonetheless.

[syrup]

3. Forgetting my phone on a random bench in a village near Rijeka.
I found out when we were returning back to the isle we lived on had to go 60km back and pay for passing the bridge twice. Luckily, some local woman seen me wandering around searching for it and she gave it to me, i understood that her kid found it.

2. Nearly drowning when we were on a boat cruise in Greece... What a panic that was...

1. Diving under big-ass waves in Nice, FR and i messed up once. The wave slammed on the "bottom" and held me underwater for a good while

Good times

[Neptune]

1. Having a barbeque on the beach at Swanage while the sun was setting

3. Ghost walk, arcade and looking for fossils at Lyme Regis

Some of the best times of my life

[saint1]

Swanage was so nice, we camped on the beach. I've only been once, but would definitely like to go again.

Lyme Regis is the one though. I've been there nearly every summer of my teenage life.

[lloydnoise]

1 - sand everywhere
2 - seeing some mad red and blue jellyfish in a harbour, must have only been 8 or so but so vivid in my mind
3 - sand everywhere

[pikeymobile]

1. playing with all these weird insect things, fucking thousands of them, that burrowed about 1/2cm below the surface of the sand, they'd all jump out if you started digging
2. getting stung by a bee that flew in to my ear during some strong wind
3. standing on a shard of glass that cut a 6cm wide gash on my heel and leaving a ridiculously big pile of blood on the sand before seeking help cos i was a baller

Used to always go to Lyme Regis with the bro, mum and dad! I remember when I was last there ~8 years ago they'd kinda fucked the beach up with the flood protection, had to be done though.


1. Getting excited when you had to swim between the red and yellow flags meaning the waves were huge
2. Trying not to look like a fanny whilst enduring the pain of standing on stones on the walk to the sea
3. Buying a ridiculously large inflatable then regretting it when you had to carry it

[bright maroon]

nothing like driving to the beach at night..
in the middle of the summer...
with the top down...

- the beltway around DC is fun at that time also...

I'm a bit of a driver..

playing catch and making diving catches in the water
wading out and making that first plunge to get it over with
pissing to warm up the area around you

[Hircine]

Living 5 minutes from it, it got boring.

One of my best mates from school's parents had a caravan in Swanage... got to know it pretty well spending the school holidays there. Used to BOSS the Virtua Fighter 2 machine in K's Arcade!
