Beachcombing
A Third Age Free & Healthy Pursuits Feature
by our Interests, Hobbies & Pastimes Editor

Can you remember as a child how much fun it was playing on the beach? Can you remember how much pleasure could be gained from such simple delights as building sand castles, collecting shells or digging for what you hoped would be buried treasure?

Well why should things be any different now? Just because you’re in your Third Age, why shouldn’t you have just as much fun doing simple things as you did when you were a child?

Well you can. You just need to learn how again. One of the problems with today’s world is that we have forgotten how to have fun. Or at least, we have come to associate fun with money, so if something is free we place no value on it.

While the old saying “the best things in life are free” may not be wholly accurate, there are certainly a great many things that are free that are ‘amongst’ the best things in life. Having fun can be one of them.

So why not give Beachcombing a try. It’s healthy, it’s good exercise, it’s free, and we’ll bet you’ll have forgotten how much fun it can be!
