The beach holds a special place in the hearts of many. Its vast expanse of sand meeting the rolling waves of the ocean seems to have an almost magnetic pull, drawing people from all walks of life. But what is it about the beach that captivates us so? In this article, we'll discuss the reasons behind our collective love affair with the beach and why we've created an entire coastal collection that enables you to bring the beach to your home – no sunscreen required!
Connection to Nature
One of the most profound reasons people love the beach is its undeniable connection to nature. The rhythmic sound of waves crashing against the shore, the feel of warm sand between your toes, and the salty breeze caressing your skin all serve to reconnect us with the natural world. In our increasingly urbanized and digitized lives, the beach offers a much-needed escape to a simpler, more primal environment.
Therapeutic Benefits
Numerous studies have highlighted the therapeutic benefits of spending time at the beach. The negative ions present in sea air can boost serotonin levels, promoting feelings of relaxation and well-being. Moreover, the act of walking barefoot on sand, known as "grounding" or "earthing," has been shown to reduce stress and inflammation in the body. It's no wonder that many people turn to the beach as a sanctuary for rejuvenation and healing.
Sense of Freedom
There's something inherently liberating about the beach. Whether it's the vastness of the ocean stretching out to the horizon or the feeling of weightlessness as you float in the water, the beach evokes a sense of freedom unlike any other. It's a place where societal constraints seem to fade away, allowing us to embrace our true selves and let go of our worries, if only for a moment.
Recreational Activities
From swimming and surfing to beach volleyball and sandcastle building, the beach offers a plethora of recreational activities for people of all ages. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie seeking thrills in the waves or a family looking for a fun day out, there's something for everyone at the beach. These activities not only provide entertainment but also foster a sense of community and camaraderie among beachgoers.
Aesthetic Beauty
Last but certainly not least, the sheer beauty of the beach is enough to captivate anyone who sets foot on its shores. The ever-changing hues of the sky during sunrise and sunset, the mesmerizing patterns left behind by retreating waves, and the diverse array of marine life all contribute to the beach's aesthetic appeal. It's no wonder that artists, photographers, and poets have long drawn inspiration from the coastal landscape.
The beach holds a special place in our hearts for a multitude of reasons. Whether it's the connection to nature, therapeutic benefits, sense of freedom, recreational opportunities, or sheer aesthetic beauty, the beach offers something for everyone. But what if you could bring that feeling home with you? That's where we come in. At Bey & Bo we've crafted a collection of luxury coastal inspired scented candles.

Whether you prefer the scent of fresh citrus and sea spray or the earthy aroma of driftwood, there's a coastal candle to suit every taste and preference.
Each coastal inspired scented candle is contained in a beautiful 30cl frosted glass container, allowing you to experience the calming effect of the flickering flame.
