So you’ll want a shoe that keeps the sand out as much as possible. If you hate sand, you’re going to like it even less when it’s wormed its way into your shoes during a run. “When you have softer ground, your shoes don't need so much structure, because your body is doing more work, but it's less supported by the ground,” Baker says.
You’ll want something lightweight that affords you maximum maneuverability. Luckily, the ideal beach shoe is the next best thing to going barefoot.

Plus you run the risk of stomping onto a sharp piece of shell or not-yet-ocean-smoothed glass. As freeing and romantic as it may feel, many beaches are just plain dirty. You’re better off not running barefoot on the sand. And if you only see one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. So if you run one way up the beach, plan to make it a round trip. Baker advises retracing your steps on a beach run to even out the experience. That means your gait will be a little off kilter, with each foot on slightly different elevation. “You have to go a lot slower and just be nicer to yourself, because it’s not going to be the same.”Īlso, while it might be more apparent on some beaches than others, your running surface is bound to be slanted slightly toward the water. “If you just go balls-to-the-wall on loose sand, it's not going to be comfortable,” Baker says. Try to start close to the water where the sand is firmer, then work your way up to looser sand. Take it slow and steady when you first start running on the beach, Baker says. The older you get, it turns out, your body doesn't like that as much.” “There's more opportunity for injury because your muscles are getting lengthened quicker. “You have complete range of motion in the sand,” Baker says. The immediate impact of slapping your feet against a hard slab is lessened, but then you’re pushing off from a shifting, unstable surface.
Running in sand is easier on the body in some ways and tougher in others.
On surfaces softer than that, it gets tricky. Running on hard-packed dirt is ideal, since it’s got just enough give to lessen the blows against your poor knees.

The Sunshine Place tells the mind-blowing, true-story of Synanon - one of America’s most cutting edge social experiments, turned into one of its most dangerous and violent cults - as it’s never been told before: by the people who lived it. Dederich, aka “Chuck,” would be the one to destroy it all, along with the lives of many of his followers and millions of dollars in assets. The man who made the miracle happen, Charles E. What started in a house on the beach, soon spread to compounds across the country. Before long, it would make an even bolder claim: It could cure any of your problems. Once called “the miracle on the beach,” Synanon began in the 1960s as an experimental rehab facility in Santa Monica, California with a radical claim: It could cure heroin addiction.
