Do you need a lit­tle push to dip your toes in the water? Here’s four rea­sons why the ocean is great for you:

  1. Splash­ing, wad­ing, and pad­dling in the ocean is fun, and breath­ing in the ocean air can help you sleep at night.
  2. Expo­sure to the ocean’s salty envi­ron­ment has been found to reduce symp­toms of hay fever.
  3. The water helps you cool down and relax, and spend­ing time in nature is good for your mind. Plus, the sand is a nat­ur­al skin exfo­lia­tor.
  4. The ocean envi­ron­ment can inspire cre­ativ­i­ty. Take a look at some of our weird-look­ing marine crea­tures – they just might spark your imagination.
