Yups, the water is rather nasty.
But hey, who cares, we had fun.
The water was cold and the sun was hot, burning hot after standing under it for a while, as a matter of fact. So, exposing all my skin except your private parts wasn't my idea of being at the beach. I like the feel of the waves, the cold water, the open air, and just having fun. This time, someone brought an inflatable raft and that was a whole load of fun.

I heard the beach down in Corpus Christy is really nice and clean. The only problem is that it's a 3 hour drive from where I live. If I were to drive 3 hrs each way, it'd have to be a weekend thing. To waste 6 hrs travel just to go to the beach is not worth it for me.

For me, it wasn't a hassle to put on sunscreen. I reapplied 4 times to all the exposed skin areas, which wasn't much in the first place. I just didn't want to get skin cancer. My skin is pretty sensitive and the sun easily (quickly) brings out the age(sun) spots on my face and arms. I understand how wearing a bathing suit to get a nice tan and not have all those nasty sand get on the clothing could be wonderful and more of how going to the beach should be, but I guess my health is more of my concern. Besides, wearing rash guards doesn't hinder my fun one bit. This one time at the pool, I saw this white lady wore a long sleeve rash guard and swimming shorts. I guess there other fair-skin people out who need to protect their skin too.
In response to Sarge, I just bought myself a long-sleeve rash guard. Wait until next time I go to the beach, I'll be even more covered up.
