My Favorite Beach Playa Santa!
When I was in college this was the Beach I visited the Most. I have memories from visiting this beach as a young boy, in High School, and as an adult.
It also happens to be my daughter's favorite beach. So every chance we have to drive over to Playa Santa in Guanica, Puerto Rico we take the opportunity.
Playa Santa in Guanica is the first beach I visited as a Baby
Last year as I visited Playa Santa with my Dad he gave me a good reason why I might be so attached to this beach. Apparently, I was weeks old when Dad and Mom decided to put me in water as summer approached in 1980.
Playa Santa is one of my happy places. We all have a happy place.
Which one is your happy place? Do you really know all the reason why that specific place is your happy place?
Every time I visit my favorite beach I find new reasons to keep loving it.
