Are Beaches the Key to Growing Relationships?

I’m a confessed beach-addict, and I’ve noticed that ever since I started going to the beach with teh boyfriend, our relationship has grown.

It may be the soothing sound of the crashing sea, or the nights spent looking at the stars. For some reason, the lack of distractions on a beach let us be more private and intimate with each other, conversationally speaking. With no pressing concerns to worry about, our beach trips are usually spent genuinely conversing about our desires and dreams.

By extension, we also get to enjoy the company of other people more intensely. With schedules cleared and no clear plan to enjoy the sand, sea, and whatever’s available, we end up connecting naturally. Which is always a great thing in my book.

Wouldn’t you know it? The beach is also the perfect excuse to see some skin! Kidding! I’m curious though: have you ever been to a beach date? Has it helped your relationship with a significant other or even a casual contact? Let me know by commenting below.
