]]>Slather on sunscreen like there’s no tomorrow. Sun protection is a must to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF and remember to reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. Don’t forget to protect those often-neglected areas like your ears, the back of your neck, and the tops of your feet.
Pack plenty of water and make a conscious effort to drink regularly throughout the day. Staying hydrated not only helps you beat the heat but also keeps your energy levels up. Consider bringing along some refreshing fruit-infused water to jazz things up and keep you sipping all day long.
When hitting the waves, it’s always a good idea to swim with a buddy. Keep an eye on each other and never venture too far from shore. If you’re not a strong swimmer, it’s best to stick to shallow waters or designated swimming areas. Remember, safety comes first, so don’t be shy about asking a lifeguard for advice or paying attention to any warning flags or signs.
Before diving into the waves, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the beach’s specific conditions. Keep an eye out for rip currents, which are powerful underwater currents that can pull you away from shore. If you find yourself caught in one, swim parallel to the shore until you’re out of its grip. It’s also essential to be mindful of local marine life and avoid disturbing any creatures or their habitats.
As tempting as it may be to bask in the sun all day long, it’s important to give your body a break from the heat. Seek shade under an umbrella or a beach tent to protect yourself from prolonged sun exposure. Take regular breaks from the sun to cool down, rest, and recharge. Your body will thank you for it, and you’ll have more energy to enjoy the beach all day long.

]]>You don’t have to be a Surf God to enjoy the wonderful waves of the ocean. In fact, you don’t even have to be remotely athletic. The ocean is a living, breathing ecosystem—and there’s nothing better than simply wading in it and allowing it to wash against your skin.
Sure, you can also read a book at home or at a library, but let’s be honest—people who read books at beaches look pretty cool doing it. And when there’s a nice shady umbrella above you, a beach can be one of the most relaxing places to read a book.
Even if you don’t love the beach, chances are that someone in your family does. Heck, if you have kids, who’s to say they won’t be obsessed with the ocean or the sand? If they do, you’ll feel good knowing that you gave them that experience.
