I love going to the beach, especially with a group of friends. Of course the weather has to be good for it to be enjoyable, and sure the sand gets in everywhere and the water can be cold, but it's still great.
Actually, I feel like going to the beach right now...
Meh, the beach does suck.......in the UK. I live no where near a beach, I have to take a 2-4 hour drive to either Brighton or Hastings, both suck. Not just the beach itself ( which is painful to walk on seeing as its all sharp pebbles ), but the locations suck as well. Rock Candy is horrible, and all you can eat is greasy Fish and Chips. I do enjoy beachs in other countrys, when I went to Barcelona, it was awesome.
The beach rocks, and you're lame for not liking it. Go back inside and play video games.
i often went to the beach in Canada with family and relatives as a child. i always had fun there and even remembered my brother being tipped over from a canoe. i hate going to the beach after shaving however - the crashing of cold waters at my feet, still feeling last night's razor burns...
I really don't like beaches, and with the amount of piercings I have I'd rther swim in clean water than sea water.

I agree with a few things mentioned above. The British beaches suck - especially in England where they have stones instead of sand (except for Ramsgate/Margate). Scottish beaches are better, but of course no fool would actually go IN the water - they're just for walking along.
The beaches I have the most memories of are:
Watching the sun set right down into the water at Piha (west coast NZ) with a romantic picnic and glass of wine (and a man of course!)
Getting sand blasted at Castlepoint (east coast NZ)
But the best is Taupo Bay way up in Northland of NZ - warm, wee sheltered bay about 1 mile long with awesome surf at one end and calm at the other where you can snorkel round interesting rock pools. At low tide you can explore the rock pools which are teeming with life, find all sorts of crabs, fish, starfish, shellfish etc. At the other (surf) end there are rocks to climb up on and contemplate life listening to the waves. Also the beach had a colony of breeding wild birds who are really comical to observe (don't know what they're called, sorry).
I attach a pic for you to drool over...

:rolleyes2 If you hate the beach so much why don't you marry it! ...wait, that's not right.
In case you haven't figured it out, I have never seen the ocean and would very much like to. I think I would be able to tolerate a little sand and sun for the chance to satisfy millions-of-years-old biological yearnings to return to the place of my origin....(that is if the idea that we evolved from sea creatures is accurate). My dad and I were on our way one summer. We got as far as southern Miss. then, apparently for no reason, he wussed out on me.......ah well.

The beach is an awful place to go. The water is usually fine, the sand gets to you everywhere and it seems to love all the wrong places, kids piss in it, seagulls are horrible cretins from hell, if the water has jellyfish.....ugh, and when the waves are too small, a big one cvomes and splashes salt water all in your mouth and eyes. Ooo fun.
Like beaches, hate crowds. My girlfriend and I went a couple months ago during the off season and it was great. No people, no traffic, no waiting. But, yeah, beaches rule. It's the things that come with them that get on my nerves.
English beaches are grim.
Yeah, but in the ocean piss gets dispersed...not so much in a small swimming pool....and let's be honest kids aren't the only ones pissing in water.

I love going to the beach. But only when it's not all huge and crowded. I live ten minutes away from Imperial Beach here in SD and it's not overwhelmingly vast, and hardly anyone takes a visit there unless it's the 4th of July or something. If I don't want to walk in the sand, I just go to the pier and go fishing. Love it.
i am a meteor mixed with holy.
I still have an unnerving feeling about it xD and that is also why I don't go to public pools....

The beach I'm closest to is full of dirty diapers and soda cans so I'd rather not go to the beach (unless I'm Jetsking) for awhile.
There are some awesome sand dunes at the beach's near me. Me and my friends just grab a bodyboard and race down them. Great fun. Heres some images of the dunes.
Normal bodyboarding is good too.
