How to Indulge in The Beautiful Beach From Anywhere

Does your heart ache for the beach, when you're not there? Your very soul desperate to get back to the calm of the waves and the whispering wind? Then you should consider living on Topsail Island permanently! Owning your own little slice of paradise in the form of Topsail Island real estate is surprisingly easy. If you can't quite move yet, though, the next best thing is hearing the sound of the surf lapping against the sand through some beautiful and poetic beach quotes.

Here are ten delightful beach quotes to give you a little taste of the serenity you are so hungry for:

For the secret of the sea,

And the heart of the great ocean

Sends a thrilling pulse through me.
