One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach.
Along the beach I never collected shells from my father's shore.
When I was a child growing up in Maine, one of my favorite things to do was to look for sand dollars on the seashores of Maine, because my parents told me it would bring me luck. But you know, these shells, they're hard to find. They're covered in sand. They're difficult to see.
A beach is not only a sweep of sand, but shells of sea creatures, the sea glass, the seaweed, the incongruous objects washed up by the ocean.
In Haiti, beach bodies are simply bodies, and beach reads are simply books, because the beach is all around you.
I'm not a beach person.
The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea.
I think I learned years ago when I went to Hawaii that you don't bring puka shells back. You've got to be careful of your vacation purchases.
I typically enjoy a beautiful beach destination, as I find the water and sand to be the most replenishing.
I have the world's largest collection of seashells. I keep it on all the beaches of the world... perhaps you've seen it.
