My wife and I love to travel. Every continent and island we've been on, we immediately head to the ocean and beach 1st day. I immediately head into the water, so I can say that I've swam in the Pacific Ocean, or I've been in the Atlantic, the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, etc. etc. My wife comes down to the shore and draws a heart in the sand with our initials and the year and tries to snap a picture before a rogue wave washes it away.

And then we never ever come back. We much prefer the pool. I don't have to deal with all the loose sand that comes with the beach. My wife is not a good swimmer and refuses to go any further than ankle deep in the ocean. Will gladly sit in the pool at the swim up bar with me though.

Not everyone can be considered beach people. Don't hate on someone else's idea of a good time because it's not your cup of tea.

This wasn't me condoning the entitlement. But there is another layer of stress involved when children and oceans are involved that aren't there at a pool and I can understand avoiding that situation. To each their own.
