Beauty of nature

There are two things I don't understand... The first is living near the Venezuelan coast and not going to the beach often enough. If I'm in Caracas, it's only an hour's drive, and if I'm in Maracay, maybe two, but it seems like the beach and its adventures are unattainable. Of course, work and finances play a big role in this. The second thing I don't understand is why I miss the sea so much, almost to the point of needing it, a feeling that intensifies after a visit to the coast; but there's a lot to consider. The beach means beauty, fun, relaxation, friends, family, and lots of photos...
