Stress has become part and parcel of our lives, stress is not always bad on a person although, if there is too much stress present, it can have damaging effects on a person’s psyche.

Beach resorts mostly consists of activities on the beach which involves water. For instance, swimming, water skiing and etc. Now if you’re not the type that likes getting wet, there are also activities that you can do on land which involve beach volleyball, sun-bathing and etc. In contrast with the beach resort, the hill resort’s activities are a bit more for the adventurous type. The most common thought that comes to mind when you hear of a hill resort is of course hiking and rock climbing. Although there are activities for people who are searching for peace which are bird watching and in my view the most wonderful activity to do in a hill resort which is star gazing. If you should choose the hill resort, this is an activity which you can’t miss out on due to the fact, you won’t be able to watch these stars in the city because of light pollution. In my opinion, both these resorts come with marvelous activities to choose from however if you should choose the beach resort and don’t like water, there aren’t many activities which you can do on land. On the other hand, the hill resort has many activities on land which can cater for those seeking adventure or …show more content…
There are always risks involved in any activity which you participate in so to give another dimension for you to make a better decision, we need to consider the risks involved when participating in activities whether at a beach or hill resort. All of the activities at a beach resort are on the beach and it can get crowded at times. You need to be fully aware, first of your valuables because when it is crowded people can easily steal your things if you’re not paying attention. The second is children, if you should go to the beach resort with your children, you need to pay close attention to them as the risk of drowning is very real. The risks at the hill resort are injuries during the participation of activities. These can range from minor cuts to even broken bones. In addition, the risk of getting lost during activities like hiking is very high. There have been numerous stories of hikers getting lost while some are rescued most do not make it out alive. As shown in Robinson (2014), “A hiker has been rescued after spending three days stranded with her two dogs in the wilderness, surviving on just wild mushrooms and bark.” This shows that there is always a possibility of getting lost. Moreover, with the risk of injuries, you need to always bear in mind that animal attacks are not unheard off. Animals such as bears, mountain lions and etc. are known to live in the woods. For instance in

As much as I do love the beach and enjoy laying in the sun I agree with Gay’s perspective of the beach to an extent.…
