This Coastal Community is a collection of people who live in many different places, but who are connected by the spirituality of holidaying by the seaside.

Holiday

The holiday – or holy day – is time set aside from normal life: a time of sabbath.
The coast is where land meets sea. It is a place at the margins of life.
A holiday at the coast is time set aside at the margins of life where the horizon is bigger and the air fresher. Normal routines are relaxed, leaving room for new experiences, new faces and fun.
Being on holiday by the coast brings its own sabbath spirituality:
It is a time of rest, when responsibilities are laid down and we can relax.
It is a time when relationships are revived and new friends made.
It is a time to reflect on everyday life from a distance.
It is a time of restoration, when we rediscover what is important to us.
It is a time of repair, when we can put right what has been going wrong.
It is a time of renewal, as we find fresh things to see and do.
It is a time to remember.
