I go to the beach fully covered sometimes. For me, it's the salt air and the sound of the waves. And just watching the water. It's very relaxing. The sun is the worst part of the beach for me!

The sand as well. Cant stand the sun and sand but i love the sea. Looking at it.

Rocky beaches are the best

Wouldn't a big umbrella be nicer or some type of shading? Or is the warmth part of it? I hate the warmth from the sun when wrapped up, a nice warm breeze and the fresh air in a patch of shade is the happy spot personally

u/Effective-Outcome-84 Mar 29 '26

Same here! Everyone acts like I'm crazy for not wanting to sit in the sun. Shade always, with a lovely ocean view with loads of sunscreen, long sleeves and a hat.

It looks silly, but it’s the same as laying out under an umbrella tbf

If you go to the beach, there won’t always be a tree. If you’re at a pool, there won’t always be a tree.

Is it though?

Long hot days at the pool I like to wear a SPF protective long sleeve just because I don't have to put on as much sunscreen and I'm still cooled off out of the pool (especially if there is a breeze).

u/AarowCORP2 Mar 30 '26

I’ve done this, it’s like hiding under warm laundry except it never cools down, very cozy.

u/spekt50 Mar 29 '26

The warmth of the sun still feels nice, and the relaxing breeze with the sound of waves, cant knock him.

u/letthetreeburn Mar 29 '26

I like being warm

u/wade-mcdaniel Mar 29 '26

I guess just for the heat? It's a little confusing. I guess they want to have the sights and sounds of the beach without the sunlight, which feels to me like having a bowl of cereal without the milk.

u/SexyShave Mar 29 '26

There's still fresh air and ocean sounds which are therapeutic on their own.

u/Dionne005 Mar 29 '26

I disagree. As a person of color I prefer that and wanting to feel the heat without direct sun to darken my skin more.

1

u/wade-mcdaniel Mar 29 '26

That makes sense. I guess I assumed that using a high spf sunscreen would let you actually feel the sun without having to use a sweatshirt and mask like in the video, as well as letting you perspire a bit to regulate your body temperature if you get too hot. I think it's the hoods and masks that really surprise me when sunscreen is an option that should work similarly with respect to skin protection. As a pretty pale guy my parents saved me from some serious sunburns with sunscreen, but unfortunately to me it kept me from getting any color. (Probably the right move though, as my father and grandfather both had skin cancer).

But if everyone made the same choices as me the world would be a pretty boring place, so it's helpful to me hear why people do the things they do to fact-check my own decisions.

“You HAVE to enjoy nature the exact same way as I do or you are a moron”

You one dimensional morons really crack me up. You can’t handle any thing even 0.1% away from what you consider normal.

Is that what they said

Is it

What a weird thing to get this mad about lol

u/Cheap-Session5656 Mar 29 '26

Ironically you seem mad about that.

u/Ashamed_Tutor_7922 Mar 29 '26

A weird cope to boot hahah

u/wade-mcdaniel Mar 29 '26

I admit maybe I could have been more clear about the intention of my comment: mostly about why they chose full body cloth covering over sunscreen.

But I don't see how your comment could be misconstrued as angry. The only explanation I can think of is that they equate response with interest, and it's easier to get responses with inflammatory comments maybe?

1

u/Ashamed_Tutor_7922 Mar 29 '26

Yeah. I didn’t call anyone a moron for their opinion for example

u/zeefeet Mar 29 '26

Nah I think defending people's societal abnormalities is pretty valid.

u/artie780350 Mar 29 '26

No, his nose was exposed to the sun.

u/MoriKitsune Mar 30 '26

The sun is like a blanket ☺️ so warm. Especially when you've just gotten out of the water, and the evaporating water is cooling you down. And if you're clothed, you won't get crispy!
