Besides getting a tan and taking a break from work, here are five other reasons to take a beach break.
You Boost Your Well-being
It is no secret that nature helps in promoting our physical and mental wellness. Fresh air, soothing sounds of nature, and sights of the sea and its verdant surroundings may enhance your serotonin and dopamine levels, making you feel happier and calmer. Basking in the sun’s warmth and listening to the waves crashing on the shore might just help you reset your body clock, exhale your stress, and relieve you of your anxiety triggers.
You Might Find a Vacation Home
Because beaches are a prime vacation spot, you’ll find many hotels, beachfront houses, and vacation condo units located nearby. They are convenient accommodations for tourists as they offer the convenience of a township but the serenity of the coastal life. However, making reservations for beachside lodgings can be challenging during peak seasons.
Taking a break at the beach might help you find a vacation home to purchase. Select a house on a quiet island to avoid the noisy beach parties and tourists arriving. Decide which beach resort or island you want to have your vacation home in. You might find a handful of Pag-IBIG houses and lots for sale that may fit your budget and preferences.
Your Skin Will Be Healthier
A nice, glowing tan isn’t the only thing your skin will get on your beach break. The salt and minerals in seawater help your skin to maintain moisture better. Seawater is also believed to help cleanse pores, exfoliate dead skin, soothe inflammation, and heal cuts and injuries. Talk about magical seawater!
You’ll Enjoy Fresh Seafood
A vacation by the sea won't be complete without fresh seafood. Besides being delicious and nourishing, enjoying a wide array of fresh seafood may also boost your body’s absorption of essential nutrients such as calcium, selenium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin A, iron, and zinc. When eating at your favorite restaurant, take time to chew, taste, and enjoy your meal. Food is a blessing that you shouldn’t rush and take for granted.
You’ll Have Some Much Needed R&R
Tying all the previous four factors, having a beach break means you’ll be well-rested. While your break is a temporary respite from the hustle and bustle, spending the weekend at the beach may help you rest and recover from all the stress and exhaustion.

Overall, taking a break from all stressors is part of self-care. Take note of these five reasons you should go on a beach break, and may you find zen and happiness in your favorite beach resort.
