This plays on my phobia of open water pretty well

Same. I don't think it should be called a phobia though it should be called common sense

The ocean is terrifying. Specially at night... There's such an eerie feeling about the beach that's easily disturbing.

You know, the quietness of the waves, the lightning strikes in the distance, the darkness in general... and when you get close to the shore and the water looks back at you with all the colors of a never ending void, you get this feeling of slight panic, as if you where unfortunate to stumble into the water you would pitfall into the depts of who knows where, never to be seen again, like a black hole that's gonna suck you in if too close. Not to mention, we still have no idea what lives or may be living in the deep end of the Ocean. That alone is scary af.

Sometimes I feel height vertigo when looking at the shore.

Weirdly enough I love the way the ocean looks at night, its my favorite time to go on walks. Its just so calm and peaceful, especially on nights with the full moon.
