I remember from a previous post that you are in a job training program and that you are working toward your independence. How is that going? In the future when you are living apart from your parents, you will be able to live as you please. And yes, it will be a different and much more gratifying experience for you. Most young people get to a point where they desperately want to throw off parental constraints. I can see how it would be even more that way with TBM parents!
Since this seems to be your only chance to go to the beach, I would just try to enjoy the sun, sand, and surf.
One additional thought -- you mentioned previously that your parents put restrictions on your TV and DVD viewing. What I would do in your shoes is to develop an interest in literature. Try genre fiction such as science fiction or mysteries. Or try classic literature. It will expand your world, and it will make it much tougher for your parents to be all into your business.
