4 Science-backed reasons why spending time at the beach is good for your body and mind…Summer is around the corner and it’s nearly time to pack away the Winter woollies and dust off our beach towels for another sunshine season. We are very lucky at Pine Lodge Resort to enjoy a uniquely serene stretch of coastline within the access-controlled Cape Recife Nature Reserve. A beach free from the buzz of tourists and locals who tend to find themselves, seemingly all at once, strolling down the beaches further East. This got us thinking about why people are so drawn to the sea, and we stumbled upon some exciting new research. As it turns out, spending time at the beach can have real benefits for your mind and body, and it’s got a lot to do with our senses. Check out these 4 benefits of spending your time sea-side.

An estimated 7000 individuals pass Pine Lodge Resort and Cape Recife from the 1st June. The event was opened by the mayor of Port Elizabeth Mr Athol Trollip, who spoke about the value of the marine biodiversity present in Algoa Bay and the importance of active citizenship in order to contribute to making Port Elizabeth a successful and vibrant Metro. Port Elizabeth also needs to be further developed as a “Green City” with an em..
