In Roxane Gay’s article “Why the Beach Is a Bummer” she explains her outlook on the beach and why it’s a place of discomfort rather than fun. “This is an ideal beach of hot sun, warm sand, crystal-clear water that leaves your skin salted. But it is all too often a mirage”(Gay) the beach isn’t always a place for everyone, and the expectations of the beach often leave people let down or disappointed. 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. The sand is annoying, the people are judgmental, and dealing with others when you just want to relax is a nuisance. Just like Gay I’d rather be in a swimming pool where it’s clean and there isn’t the chance or a creature or something
