The first time I visited the beach, I was 8-9 years old. Going to the beach meant traveling to Karachi, our biggest port city. The journey was so much fun because we traveled by train for around 36 hours. I have shared that story in a previous post.
We stayed with my father’s sister’s family. They had lived in Karachi for a long time and were the perfect hosts.
The day we visited the beach, was a Sunday. There were lots of families there to enjoy the bright sunny day. I approached the water tentatively as it looked so vast and intimidating for me. But when I got my first wetting, I became bolder and ventured further into the coming and receding waves. It was a fantastic new sensation that I experienced that day.
An unforgettable day, etched in my memory, more so because going to the beach has been a rare experience for me as I’ve always lived far away from the ocean.
Thanks KL for giving me this prompt to relive my childhood memories.

For some reason, I love shots of feet and shoes taken from above. I take them frequently enough that I am embarrassed to post them all, but I loved this one of yours.

I remember I was about 6 or 7 when I first went to a beach in Puri. It was a very good experience.

Your visit to the beach is a wonderful memory to have. I’ve never been to see an ocean as we live very far away, too. I’ve only been to the beach in south Texas, the Gulf of Mexico, a few times. Amazing experience! 🙂

Oh, I forgot – I’ve also been to a beach in Hawaii many years ago.

So happy you were able to play in the water as a child. Sounds like it took a very long time to get there but worth it for you.
