There is something quite intoxicating about the prospect of escaping to the beach for a romantic getaway. Hubby and I were dreaming about a summer beach escape and when the opportunity came our way, we were only too happy to indulge our thalassophilian hearts (I just made that word up, although thalassophile is a real word meaning ‘a lover of the sea’). Sunshine, salty ocean air, crashing waves and dreamy sunsets at a quiet hideaway was needed to restore and reinvigorate our Covid-weary souls.
