The best way to start and end your day (15 photos)

"The sun shines everywhere, not just at the beach." -Brande Roderick

While that may be true, the sun is certainly more enjoyable at the beach with your feet in the sand and the salt in the air. There's something refreshing about the experience. What's even more spectacular is a sunrise or sunset at the beach. The sun sets to rise again; it's the routine interchange between day and night and it's beautiful. It's no wonder why everyone's so eager to catch a glimpse of and capture the moment. When you combine the beauty of a sunset or rise with the comfort of the beach you get an experience like no other. That very combination exists in Ocean City.
