SUMMER HOLIDAYS

        The beach is a traditional summer destination for thou­sands of people. Everyone wants to go to the beach! Sun, surf, and sand are a magnetic lure for millions of visitors. The wealth of things to do includes sunbathing, jogging, boating, fishing and surfing. Ever presenting breezes keep the temperature comfortable and the water warm. Beach cities are the centres for easygoing life styles. The newest trends in youth culture often originate there. For example, the rollerskating craze started on the Venice boardwalk.

         Though sea, the sun and sand are the same, people try to go to a different place every year, because fauna, and flora, and the air are different.

        Spending holidays on the beach is a great rest though many people combine sunbathing with visiting museums and places of interest.
