Seven surprising health benefits of visiting the beach

I spent part of the summer in Ocean City, MD with my mom and daughters, which was amazing and restorative for me.  

During my childhood, we went to Ocean City every summer until I was 15 and I loved it.  

Thirty-something years later since my last visit, and I still loved it. 

And, while I was having an amazing time in the sun, I thought, why have I not taken advantage of the beaches near Brooklyn, so close to home?

Yesterday, my daughters and I jumped in the car – we didn’t bring bathing suits, we had no plans to swim, we didn’t have much time – and just enjoyed being at the beach and its health benefits.  

If you live near a beach, go! Get healthy!
