While you're there, here are some summer beach tips to make your experience enjoyable and safe:
-
Sun Protection: Use sunscreen with a high SPF, wear a hat and sunglasses to protect your skin and eyes from harmful UV rays. Reapply sunscreen every two hours, especially after swimming.
-
Hydration: Bring plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially if you're spending a lot of time in the sun. Avoid sugary or alcoholic beverages, as they can dehydrate you.
-
Shade: Set up a beach umbrella or seek out natural shade under trees to give yourself breaks from direct sunlight.
-
Swim Safely: Swim in designated areas where lifeguards are present if possible. Pay attention to warning flags and signs indicating water conditions.
-
Stay Cool: Bring a cooler with cold drinks and snacks to keep you cool throughout the day.
-
Beach Gear: Pack essential items like towels, beach chairs, a beach blanket, and a first aid kit. Don't forget a trash bag to clean up after yourself.
-
Foot Protection: Wear water shoes to protect your feet from hot sand, sharp rocks, or broken shells.
-
Beach Toys: Bring along some beach games or toys like Frisbees, beach balls, or sandcastle-building tools for added fun.
-
Watch the Tide: Be mindful of the tide schedule to avoid getting stranded or having your belongings swept away.
The beach can be a wonderful place to relax and have fun. Enjoy your time in the sun!
