re: I’m honestly inquiring. What’s the point of going to the beach?

Sorry you are so simple minded and have a total lack of intellectual curiosity, perhaps it's a byproduct of your zhitty upbringing?

Digging in the sand, snorkeling and engaging various form of plants and animals that are generally alien to many people is actually quite stimulating, but go ahead and live your sad little virtual life in Mom's basement, your choice.....
