NO herpes doesn't like to float around in fluids. It's spread through skin contact like kissing some one when they have a visible cold sore or during intercourse when your genitals rub together.

Q: Herpes: Can You go Swimming if You Have it?""If you have Herpes Simplex 1 or 2 which causes Oral Herpes - Cold Sores or Genital Herpes then yes, you can go swimming." "Herpes is very easy to catch, but you need skin to skin contact to pass it to someone else."

"As stated above, Herpes Simplex is only contagious via skin to skin contact. You can NOT get Herpes Simplex from going to the toilet, the swimming pool, the beach etc. You can only get Herpes Simplex from physical contact with the affected area of a person who has the virus."

You can't get herpes just from going to the beach. You can get it from skin-to-skin contact with an infected person. Sun exposure, though, is a common trigger for outbreaks in those already infected with herpes virus.
