Beach Bums 
You love the salt air, sand between your toes, and sound of the waves splashing into shore. The problem is--you are stuck at home since the cost of a cab to the beach is not really feasible. Explore the beach photo links below, find some favorites of your own, and write from the perspective of your beach towel.
