My first novel, ‘You Lost Me There,’ has been described as a beach read. Tough bracket, beach reads. There’s not much room for mistakes when you’re competing against the sun for a person’s attention. – Rosecrans Baldwin
Sydney’s most famous beach is Bondi. At its southern end is Bondi Baths, an eight-lane, 50-meter saltwater pool built into the cliffs. – Raymond Bonner
To speak of oneself means to lay bare one’s own soul, expose it like a body to the sun. To lay bare one’s own soul is not at all like taking off one’s brassiere on a crowded beach! – Oriana Fallaci
The British are so funny. It’s like they can’t believe I lived in Hackney. ‘You could live in Bondi Beach. Why would you want to live in ‘Ackney?’ But Hackney’s fantastic. I’m serious. There are so many artists there. I loved the markets, the parks, the pubs, the diversity. It was a cultural melting-pot. – Rose Byrne
It’s tempting to just write a comic called ‘Everyone Mail Randall Munroe Twenty Bucks’ – maybe it would work, and I could just close down the ‘xkcd’ store and sit on a beach and draw pictures and make snarky Reddit posts for the rest of my life. – Randall Munroe
If I have a Sunday free, I’ll go up the coast and spend some time on the beach. I scuba dive and swim and sail. A lot of the things I like are around the water. – Parker Stevenson
In Haiti, beach bodies are simply bodies, and beach reads are simply books, because the beach is all around you. – Roxane Gay
I want to be a simple bride when I get married. I want a beach wedding where I am running around on the sand in a white dress. – Sonakshi Sinha
Eventually, when I started studying Egyptology, I realized that seeing with my naked eyes alone wasn’t enough. Because all of the sudden, in Egypt, my beach had grown from a tiny beach in Maine to one eight hundred miles long, next to the Nile. – Sarah Parcak
Discovering L.A., in particular in the early ’80s, was pretty spectacular; it was fun and carefree, and there was not nearly as much traffic as exists today. It was very much the last gasps of the Beach Boys’ ideal view of L.A.: sun, the beach, cars, blondes, etc. – Zach Galligan
Dee Dee Ramone was the one who would go to Rockaway Beach, and he wrote that great song about it. He was the beach boy; he loved getting a tan and stuff, and he would ride the bus down Woodhaven Boulevard to Rockaway. – Tommy Ramone
With us, people caught on to something on our third album, and that will never be repeated. Basically, I don’t really have any complaints about the way that Beach House has grown. I feel like we’re still in control of what we’re doing, and it’s a great time in our existence. – Victoria Legrand
If retirement means laying on a beach and rubbing coco butter on your stomach, about 48 hours of that will be enough for most people. You’ll want something new. – Timothy Ferriss
We feel more and more intensely about the music we make. It’s unexpected, and not always what you would think of in Beach House. It’s all art in the end. We aren’t making records because we have to; it’s because it’s what we want to express. – Victoria Legrand
I really loved working on ‘Laguna Beach,’ and I’d do it all over again. I’m one of the luckiest kids in the world, but I thought it was going to be a documentary about kids in high school, and they exaggerated all this drama. When it came out, it was this weird thing. People feel that they know you. – Stephen Colletti
When I’m not working, I love going to the beach. I am from Florida, so I definitely love the beach life. I love horse-back riding. Just to go out to a barn, it’s fun. It’s kind of like a get-away from the city. And also, I love animals. – Stefanie Scott
My mum’s from Broome, so I’m a saltwater person – Aboriginal people are either freshwater, saltwater or desert mob. So I always feel much more comfortable in close proximity to the beach, even if I’m not necessarily in the water. – Shari Sebbens
And I was in another band called Flash In The Pan, which was soca, Latin music, down in Laguna Beach. – Travis Barker
When I was nine, I was taught to ride a surfboard in Waikiki by the beach boy Rabbit Kekai. – Susanna Moore
I remember the first time I heard ‘The Thunder Rolls.’ It was dark, and we were driving to the beach. There was the thunder outside and the thunder in the song. It was eerie. – Zac Brown
The best drink I’ve ever had was a mojito in St. Barts at Nikki Beach. That drink changed my life. – Sarah Carter
I love going to the cinema, listening to music, yoga and long walks along Holkham beach in Norfolk. – Saffron Aldridge
I’ll be honest – my buddies are always going round saying, ‘Put a shirt on. Jeez,’ but I grew up on the beach. I grew up surfing. I grew up outdoors. I’ve sort of always liked being shirtless. – Scott Eastwood
I’m a really big surfer, and I have also been playing a ton of volleyball on the beach on the weekends. – Teddy Sears
Each weekend I play at least one and maybe two sets of tennis a day. My doubles team was in the finals recently at my tennis club in Palm Beach and lost a tiebreaker after a three-hour match. I must confess, by the end of the three hours, I was relieved it was over. – Wilbur Ross
