Throughout my life the best place for me to relax has been my family's beach house in Ocean Grove, NJ. I have been going every summer since I was a little kid and it is the only vacation my siblings and I could count on every summer. I love just relaxing on the beach and swimming in the ocean, riding the waves or just allowing yourself to become their next punching bag. Either way I always have a great time at the beach. It is a very quick getaway, seeing as it is only a half a hour away from home and also it is quite inexpensive compared to vacations on cruiselines or trips to theme parks. A trip to the beach house is a perfect time to leave the world behind and just be lazy for once.
