Water also has huge cultural and spiritualsignificance for people through the ages and for centuries we looked to the sand and surf as a fully-stocked pharmacy.Despite the widespread intuitive feeling that being by the sea makes us happier and healthier , there hasn't been much scientific evidence to quantify this connection.
