go out of your way

You can either glide by, past, say, the beautiful ocean scenes and take snaps out the window that's the easy thing to do. or you can go out of your way to move the car to the side of the road, to push that brake pedal, to get out, take off your shoes and socks, take a couple of steps onto the sand, feel what the sand feels like under your feet, walk to the ocean, and let the ocean lap at your ankles.
