The Beach and the Pool On a hot summer day, do you picture yourself cooling off by the sandy shore, or the chilly chlorine-stenched pool? No matter what, they are popular hobbies to enjoy in the summer. Going to beach helps you relax with the sounds of the seagulls and fishy smell of ocean. The pool also helps relax with the splish-splash of toddlers and kids jumping into the pool like leapfrogs, with the strong stench of chlorine. The thing is they both help you cool off in the summer,or sometimes just relax.

When you are the beach, there is no doubt that there are tons of activities to do! Its nearly impossible to get bored there! You can collect seashells, which usually just lay in the soggy sand while a small wave carries it back into the ocean. Or you can surf, one of the most popular hobby to do at the beach. Lots of activities are available not only in the water but in the sand like making sand castles, or just plain playing with the sand! And lots of other things are available. In the beach, you can also heat up in the sun. One popular hobby for girls is sun-tanning, its easy if you have tanning lotion! Or after going in the chilly water, you can heat up easily in the sun. Beaches do have their disappointments though, such as getting sand absolutely everywhere, and I do mean everywhere! In your hair, in your legs, in your ears, in your nose, in your bathing suit. The worst thing is that its hard to get it off because the water attracts even more sand! Going to the beach is also tiresome because of the car ride back, you always have tons of stuff, the beach the chairs, the umbrella, the towels, the sun lotion, the extra-clothes, the water bottles, (so you don't have to pay for the expensive drinks!) and you got to carry ALL that back in the car so you can drive home. (And not to mention the gluey sand on you that stains the car.) The beach is a popular vacation spot in the summer and is almost anywhere in the world.

Today, pools are almost everywhere. Families have it in their houses, community pools for neighborhoods, and indoor pools useful for exercise. Kids love pools, it helps them cool off in the hot sun and it is great because it helps you exercise and be active. Pools are almost nothing like the beach, for one thing beaches don't have sand so nothing sticks on you, and the water is much more cleaner the salty ocean water! At the pool you don't have to worry about finding a dead fish or a lost bathing suit that has been ripped in the back by the high tides! Once in a while you do find a lost bandaid, but thats a whole different story, but usually pool water is very clean because of the amount of chlorine put into it.In pools you also have your privacy. You don't usually see a random stranger you've never seen in your life walk into your backyard pool! Or even in a neighborhood pool, people who go their have to be certified that they live there and usually people that go to the pools are from the neighborhood and know each other. Pools have their disappointments, such as getting chlorine in your eyes if you don't wear goggles. The pool is also a popular hobby to do in the summer and it is seen almost anywhere.

The pool and the beach are both ways to relax and chill out. They are both popular summer hobbies also. Some people may prefer to go to the beach rather to go to the pool, or vise versa. Either way, they are popular summer hobbies and are both very enjoyable.
