I must admit, I was a little hesitant to watch this film because when I first saw it in the theatre years ago I cried my eyes out. But I gave it a go, and I'm glad I did. CC Bloom (Midler) and Hillary Whitney Essex (Hershey) began and ended their friendship at different "Beaches." When they met under the boardwalk in Atlantic City as young girls, they had no idea that their relationship would last a lifetime. Against all odds the two such different women weathered the ups and downs that came between them, but one thing they could always count on was their love and support for each other. Based on the novel by Iris Rainer Dart. (Tricia Littrell)
