I never was a beachy kind of girl.. I didn't grow up in a beach environment, we were actually lucky to have a BBQ once a year.. Tassie was just that kind of place, we weren't big on BBQ's or the beach on our family (but we were very sporty and did other things!).
I've lived in Sydney for 23 years next April and while I have lived near beach side for most of that time I didn't ever go swimming or near the beach..
Then my husband suggests we buy a place near the beach, I was a sceptic. I don't really "do" the beach, as such. I have a pair of swimmers reserved for Thailand and Hawaii (where no one knows me..) but I wasn't sure about buying a beach retreat..
Fast forward a few months and I can't imagine life without my weekender! I love waking up the waves crashing against the rocks (that took some getting used to, I used to think it was the wind!) and walking along the beach and yes, even swimming!
If we move
somewhere else in the world in a few years I don't know what we will do with it and
to be honest, how I will live without the weekends away... Till then, I
shall just enjoy it for what it is.
