The sea is beautiful, I love it, and I prefer it early in the morning, or an hour or two before the sun goes down.
It's true that I wish it didn't have sand... (nothing is perfect) 😅
With the heat here in Cuba and the punishing sun, mountains and river sound much better.
Yea, the evenings on the beach are great when it cools down and gets dark.
Here it has been terribly hot too. It is cooking down now and feels so much better!
