places TheSEAtheSHOREI will live on the sea someday. I will retire there. My ashes will be scattered there. The sea is my mother, my mother church, the feminine incarnation of God.
Some of my favorite places on the Shore.
Island Beach State Park, South Seaside Park, NJ. Don't laugh. It may be Jersey, but the Governor's Mansion is on this 14 mile stretch of surprisingly isolated beach, smooth sand, long unimpeded walks. You can skinny dip in July in places here, without being an exhibitionist. Since I'm a b each walker, this is my favorite. The best walking beach I've seen anywhere.
There is a sense in which
any seascape is every seascape in the sense that there is always endless ocean seamlessly morphing into the horizon. There's nothing like the sunset or sunrise on the marine horizon. The sea is always the same wherever you go and is different moment by moment wherever you are.
