    When planning a vacation, one of the most significant decisions is choosing between a beach escape and an inland retreat. I know lots of persons normally choose to go to the beach or beach destinations for various reasons. However, based on my personal preferences, I like the river especially on a hot day with cool fresh water. Also, I noticed that when am at the beach, the heat with the salt doesn’t work well for me and sometimes scorch my skin pretty bad, it leaves me with darker skin tone for days. Or could it be a possibility there is something am missing each time. Let me get your take, which do you think is better Beach or inland destinations such as rivers etc.?

      It really comes down to personal preference, and based on what you described, it sounds like inland destinations—like rivers—are a much better fit for you.

       

      Rivers offer cool, fresh water, which is perfect for hot days, and they don’t have the intense sun reflection that beaches do. Plus, if your skin reacts badly to saltwater and sun exposure, then rivers or forest retreats might be a healthier and more enjoyable choice.Beaches are popular for their wide-open space, waves, and tropical vibes, but they come with strong sun exposure, salt that can dry out the skin, and higher temperatures due to sand and water reflection. If your skin gets scorched easily, it could be a mix of UV sensitivity, dehydration, or not using the right sunscreen (some wash off too quickly in saltwater).So, if rivers make you feel cooler, more refreshed, and comfortable, then stick with what works best for you! Nature has plenty to offer beyond just the beach—waterfalls, freshwater swimming spots, and scenic inland retreats can be just as magical

      I live in the mountains, so most of the time I’m a beach vacationer. That said, I always take a trip in the fall with a friend and we head for another mountain location a few hours away from where we live. It’s the perfect time and place for pumpkin picking, bonfires, and holiday craft shopping.

      Nothing beats the sound of the ocean waves gently lapping at the sand.  I fall asleep to that soundscape every night, so no doubt about it, vacationing near the beach is my go-to for relaxation.

      To be truthful am a beach lover but am also very fascinated about inland destination. I’m big on hiking and exploring caves. I like spending hours in the hills away from the crowds and chaos, picking fruits, bird watching seeing new plants and animals. I Love the beach too; Snorkeling, scuba diving and under water exploration are my fave. Let’s say am undecided for now.

      I love the hills and mountains, so hill stations are my preference for a vacation. In summers, the cool breeze provides a refreshing break from the hot and sweaty days of the plains. In winters, it is the snow that I look forward to. Apart from the rainy season, I always like to go to the mountains.
