Enjoy!

GREAT !!!

I usually don't take a shower in the beach area -- wait till I get to the hotel. If I go to the beach, I Will wear sandals and just hang out on a chair or at a beach bar. I don't know about getting in the water -- I like my ocean water to be warm. So if it is at all cold, I avoid it.
