Love letters in the sand: Beach love quotes for couples

Love is as vast as the ocean, as infinite as grains of sand. These beach love quotes meld the magic that is the beach and love into one.

The beach is one of my favorite places. The color of the sea in all its moods, the golden sand or the grey pebbles, but most of all, the sound of the waves crashing on the shore.

On still nights when the tide is high, I can hear them from our bedroom.

Right now, as I’m writing this post from our RV parked up by the beach in Papamoa, New Zealand, the sound is the backdrop to the clicking of keys.

Much like summer and sunsets, the beach to me is associated with love and romance.

Long walks hand in hand.

Making out with the sun beading sweat on your skin.

Bonfires in the evening looking at his face glowing from the light of the flames..

And because I’m an ex-English teacher, I love nothing more than to find quotes from literature that express so eloquently thoughts I can’t capture in my own words about what happens when the beach and love come together.

These romantic beach quotes are my offering to you.

They make great captions on your pics, notes in a card, or simply words to enjoy.

Love is tricky. It is never mundane or daily. You can never get used to it. You have to walk with it, then let it walk with you. You can never balk. It moves you like the tide. It takes you out to sea, then lays you on the beach again… You can run from it but you can never say no. It includes everyone. – Amy Tan

I think love is kind of like those waves out there,” she said. “You ride one in to the beach, and it’s the most amazing thing you’ve ever felt. But at some point the water goes back out; it has to. And maybe you’re lucky-maybe you’re both too busy to do anything drastic. Maybe you’re good as friends, so you stay. And then something happens-maybe it’s something as big as a baby, or as small as him unloading the dishwasher-and the wave comes back in again. And it does that, over and over. I just think sometimes people forget to wait. – Erica Bauermeister

or chase or fall
… to feel you

all i have to do
is
breathe.
