I’m 24, so I’ll go out and, yeah, have a few drinks and dance – I love to dance – and have a good time, but I like to do other things, too. I like going to the beach and reading and hiking.
The funny thing is that I’m the girl who no one sees at the beach. Ask anyone who’s traveled with me. Normally, I’m in so many layers, I look like Lawrence of Arabia!
The dominant and most deep-dyed trait of the journalist is his timorousness. Where the novelist fearlessly plunges into the water of self-exposure, the journalist stands trembling on the shore in his beach robe.
My perfect beach town isn’t a fancy resort or glitzy planned community. It’s a place with a hometown grocery that has decent meat, seafood, and a deli; a couple of ice cream shops; and a handful of good restaurants – where the island-wide dress code is ‘no shoes, no shirt, no problem.’
I love the beach. I love the sea. All my life I live within – in front of the sea.
I wasn’t really a beach boy. I was a city boy, afraid of the ocean.
I think the Port of Palm Beach has an opportunity to thrive, if they can figure out how to do it with community support.
In Haiti, beach bodies are simply bodies, and beach reads are simply books, because the beach is all around you.
I went to high school in Virginia Beach, Va., and we had these guys – they were surfers. They didn’t like me, never talked to me. And if they didn’t like you, they threw toothpicks at you. After I did a play, it was different. I found out I was pretty good at something.
There’s something special about racing in real streets. The ‘artificial’ circuits have a certain sameness to them. But every race conducted on real streets has a character of its own – Barcelona, Monaco, and now Long Beach.
I was a typical American boy. I did a lot of outdoor activities, played a lot outside with my friends, loved to go the beach, liked to hike, boating and fishing, and I flew a lot of model airplanes as well.
I never worked less than 16-hour days on South Beach.
It’s more challenging on the beach. And there’s a totally different atmosphere. There’s not nearly so much protocol as indoors. It’s not so strait-laced.
I proposed to my wife on Brighton Beach, and she said yes. That’s pretty romantic. Even though I forgot to go down on one knee because I was too busy trying to compose the question.
So, I went to see No Doubt play on March 14, 1987 at the show at Fender’s Ballroom in Long Beach, California. A week later I tried out and I joined the band and that was obviously a completely incredible thing for me and a life changing moment.
I love to go to Aksa Beach at midnight.
Summer means happy times and good sunshine. It means going to the beach, going to Disneyland, having fun.
One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.
I love the island of Majorca. I love the beach at Cala Ratjada, which is on the far side of the island where not many Britons go.
Whether I’m running on the beach without my shirt or whether I’m going out with my kids or going to church or going out to dinner – I don’t choose to insulate myself in engaging in real life. Hence, the public kind of almost knows me as much through my real life that they see through the rag mags.
The best drink I’ve ever had was a mojito in St. Barts at Nikki Beach. That drink changed my life.
Certainly, light fiction exists and encompasses mysteries or second-class romance novels, books that are read on the beach, whose only aim is to entertain. These books are not concerned with style or creativity – instead they are successful because they are repetitive and follow a template that readers enjoy.
I’ve always been active – outdoors, on the beach, playing – and so to go home and have to sit on my couch and relax… it’s frustrating. Sometimes, you just have to really shut yourself down.
I did not fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I cannot fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I am not his employer. I do not have such authority. And even if I did, I would never fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I love Brian Wilson. We are partners. He’s my cousin by birth and my brother in music.
There’s nothing like taking Proust to the beach and daydreaming along to it.
You all want to know what is my dream? Very simple. To walk along the beach, holding the hand of my lover.
I’ve had inquiries for things like TV show ‘Splash,’ where people go out in front of the whole nation in a bikini. But I think bikinis are just for the beach.
I’m not married, and I don’t have any kids, so sometimes I envy that end of things when I see a family vacation or people at the beach with their kids or at sporting events with their kids; you wonder, ‘Is that a part of your life that you want to go into?’
Living at the beach, it’s hard to get out of the sun.
I was a lifeguard for three years, when I was around 16-years-old. So for my first job, that was awesome, working on the beach.
The original Beach Boys are Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, Mike Love, and Alan Jardine.
It’s almost a cliche that great Silicon Valley entrepreneurs don’t go sit on a beach when they make a lot of money; they get back to work building another company or at least investing in other people’s companies.
I’m a total beach bum.
I’m not going to give quotes about inventing the ‘beach book,’ but I was certainly at the forefront of it.
I learned with ‘The Beach’ that I’m a bit better lower down the radar.
If you don’t like The Ramones, you don’t like rock ‘n’roll. They’re like The Beach Boys without the sea.
Well, I went to school with Jan and Dean, Ryan O’Neal, some of the Beach Boys we all use to party together.
In Hawaii, we go to this wonderful place, all families. My wife and I go directly from breakfast to a beach chair where we read all day. My daughter goes from water to pool to running around with friends she meets, some of whom are regulars there.
I love beach volleyball.
Los Angeles and Sydney are very similar, but I definitely enjoy more fresh seafood when I’m back in Australia, as there is so much great, fresh produce here. I also like going swimming at the beach while I’m home, too.
I’m a tropical weather cruiser. I like surfing, you know. I like being on the beach.
I burn very easily, so if I forget sunscreen, I will be a tomato by the end of the day. I’m very big on sunscreen and hats. I grew up in Florida, and I love the beach, and I think it’s healthy to get a little bit of color.
To walk into a studio, for me, is just like walking onto a beach or something.
New York is like a vacation – no beach required.
Views are overrated; it’s light that counts. I have an apartment in Miami’s South Beach, and I get tired of looking at the ocean. Even that view gets old after a while. Sunlight streaming into a room – it never gets old.
When I’m in South Africa, I make it a point to take my dogs out to the beach.
Words today are like the shells and rope of seaweed which a child brings home glistening from the beach and which in an hour have lost their luster.
Sometimes the very best of all summer books is a blank notebook. Get one big enough, and you can practice sketching the lemon slice in your drink or the hot lifeguard on the beach or the vista down the hill from your cabin.
In New York, you have the street; in the U.K., we have the beach. I end up being like a migrating bird, being attracted to it.
There was a summer in college where I worked for a stretch picking up garbage at the beach. On the early shift, it was very meditative walking the shoreline and crisscrossing the sand, picking up the junk people had dropped or tossed or that the ocean had returned. And there was this strange fantasy element to it.
Hyams Beach is said to be the whitest in the world; walking on it is like wading through warm powdery snow – so clean it squeaks beneath your bare toes.
I love the beach, and I love sunshine.
I love being natural. I never feel more beautiful then after I’ve been to the beach and my hair’s just a crazy mess of salt curls, or when I’ve just been outside all day hiking.
I like to cook, walk on the beach, go to concerts and look at fine art.
I’ve covered tornadoes and other natural disasters. I wasn’t on the ground for Katrina. But as our helicopter descended toward Mexico Beach, I just saw an entire town gone. Leveled, with the exception of a condo still standing here and there.
It sounds kind of cliche, and a lot of people say it about our music, but I think a good place to hear our music for the first time is on vacation, or somewhere warm, on the beach or something like that.
I used to have a musical group with a girlfriend called The Thunderclouds. It was like a Beach Boys cover band. And we would just figure out Beach Boy songs – break ’em into two-part harmonies. And, you know, we played a couple of shows around Olympia. It was very fun.
The most important thing to Ben and me was starting a family, so as soon as we got engaged, we booked Gurney’s in Montauk – which is just a few miles down the beach from our summer home – as our wedding venue a full year and a half out, and then we immediately started trying to get pregnant.
I love to be outdoors, so I like to hike, bike and go to the beach.
