It was super cool to be snowboarding in the Andes in August . We felt pretty cool ! : ) The school also organized another trip about a month ago to the " beach " . I put it in parentheses because when we got there , it turned out to be a big grassy field , rather than a beach .

Question: Why is the word " beach " in quotations ?
Answer: I was quoting the travel guides and wanted to get the spelling right .The beach we saw was n't the typical one we view in normal vacations with lots of sand and palm trees .I was quoting the tour guide .None of the above choices .
