Hi 40185 ........ "bathe" has several definitions:

When I was growing up, we talked about wearing a "bathing suit" when we went "swimming". Which is kind of funny when I think about it now.   "Bathing" was something done in a bath tub.

Pleasant view.

A lovely sunny evening.

This is even pretty at night.

I might have to take my soap and stuff with me next time I go to the beach!   LOL

LMAO

I can tell you... I'll be much more careful with the word "bathe" in future.  LOL

Lol, I think of swimming in the ocean as swimming and bathing as "taking a bath" lol.

I'm still laughing!!!!  I looked up "to bathe" and it has many definitions, including both of ours!!

Lmao, well that is what I think of when I hear someone bathing.

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!  No soap. Oh how funny!!!!! I'm just picturing you imagining me soaping myself at 6pm.

Wow, I have never seen anyone here bathe in the ocean. Wait, are we talking about the same thing, lol? I mean like with soap and water.

OMG!!!!!!  Carol, at times you can't find a space to swim, it's so full of people. I always found that about 6pm was the best time to go swimming. People who have been there all day tend to disappear at about that time.

So people really bathe in the ocean?

Hi Carol...... it's not completely separate but it certainly is popular with bathers. Plus, the water always feels a bit warmer!

I love the little pond that separates this from the ocean. I live right by the ocean and won't go in cuz of Jaws. I don't think Jaws can get in here, lol.

When I lived in France I used to spend the winters in Spain, not far from here. This is where I did my shopping.Wish I was there now!
