Beach vacations are overrated until you find the right beach. Not the one with overpriced cocktails and a hundred umbrellas lined up in perfect rows, but the stretch of sand where you can hear the waves without a soundtrack, and the water feels like it belongs only to you. I still think about a beach in Mexico where I watched a thunderstorm roll in from the horizon. The locals didn’t run; they sat quietly and let the rain hit their skin. That moment felt more like “paradise” than any picture-perfect postcard. Do you chase crowded, famous beaches—or do you look for the quiet, forgotten ones? #Travel#BeachLife
