["Have you ever just sat on the beach for a whole day?  It's so relaxing.", 'I used to live right by the beach. You just described my daily life.', 'Aww!  So lucky!  A couple years ago I had to drive 9 hours just to get to the beach LOL.  Worth it though.']
I definitely miss it! And you are totally right. It is worth that drive.
