Peaceful beaches or mountain adventures for your soul?

 I've been thinking about how many times I visit beaches and mountains for my family vacation or short gateways with friends. Looking back at the pictures series on my phone, there are more pictures of the beach than the mountains.  As an extrovert person, studies say that extroverts prefer the beach to the mountains while introverts prefer the opposite. How about you guys? 

To compare the beach to the mountain in terms of activities, the beach has more activities than the mountain that cover a wide range of ages from babies to elderly people. One of the relaxing activities that can be experienced by various ages is sunbathing which just needs relaxation time. Other than that, families or friends that have different interests since they are of different ages must have more interest in the beach than mountain. It is because the preschool age can build sandcastles, play beach volleyball with the girls, surf for the schoolboys, mothers will cook for the families, and kayak for the boys with their fathers. If we compare it with mountain activities, it has more advanced activities like hiking, rock climbing, and horse riding which are uncommon for the toddlers or eldest. The activities on the beach ideally strengthen the family bonds to a deeper level or cherish moments that will last a lifetime. 

Next, as a family, I am a person who encourages my parents to increase the children's cognitive language by bringing them to the beach and mountains. However, bringing the children to the beach grows the children's cognitive language further and faster because of the familiarity with the seashells and marine creatures through activities like shell collecting. This is because the beach has a sensory-rich environment like sands, rocks, water, and exposure to sunlight than the mountain to enhance the children to explore more and have imaginative sessions the child imaginative play then the mountain because the mountain structure has likely green side. 

On the other hand, spending time at the beach is more flexible than on the mountain. For you to climb the mountain, it may take at least 1 hour 30 minutes of climbing and going down to reach the top but you could just go to the beach by car and arrive at least 10 minutes from your house. Other than that, it is quite impossible to go to mountain visit at night rather than to the beach at night. The time is flexible to visit the beach whether it is in the morning, evening, or night than a vacation in the mountains that has a shorter time to visit. 

In conclusion, I would love to tell you that the peaceful beaches are more likely to be my choice as a vacation location to visit because of the wide range of activities, educational opportunities to emphasize the family bond, and time flexibility.
