I was born and raised about a mile from a beach. I can't remember a time when I hadn't seen the ocean.

When I was very young, in the days before air conditioning, on hot summer nights, families in my community would take blankets and go sleep on the beach. My parents did this when I was a baby. I think that this is why I love the ocean so much.

The one disappointment I have about living in The Villages is that it is so far from any beaches.
