When "The Big One" hits Miami, there will be a cesspool in its wake like Florida has never seen.

Personally, I loathe going to the beach. I get bored out of my mind almost immediately, and it's far too hot for me. We (had to) spend some time at a beach resort in Egypt at the end of our holiday (it was an organised trip) and we collectively hated it (as we were all people who like to actually travel and see things). That beach resort was basically The Bad Place.

A beach in warm weather is an exceptionally relaxing vacation experience for me.
There are times for everything, and it is a proven scientific principle that "down" time is necessary for creativity.

We have discussed this previously in terms of sleep and meditation, and I have no desire to "preach" to you. But I treasure my down time, and, for me, a good night's sleep and a morning meditation session help me feel mentally clear and flexible. And also help me keep my emotions in check.
Also, the majority of my beach experiences have been on the southeastern Atlantic coast of the US during the summer months, so that is a good beach environment. I recommend the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Oh I'm not arguing with you at all, I completely recognise that other people like activities like that, and that's fine. I've got pretty massive ADD and I'm pretty sure it's precisely because of that. For the same reason I don't like sleeping either, I need the time to do, well, everything.
I do wind down every once in a while, on a spa day with some friends. That's okay though, and a bit more, let's say, interactive.
