Summer is here and that means it's time to hit the beach! The beach is a great place to relax, swim, get some sun, and make lasting memories. But if you're looking to spice up your typical beach day, here are some crazy and exciting things you can do at the beach this summer! Here are some frequently asked questions about crazy things to do at the beach:
Fun In The Sun
One of the best parts about the beach is being able to get out in the sun and soak up some rays. But you can make your sunbathing a little more interesting by trying out some crazy tanning positions. Why lay on your towel flat when you can prop your legs up on a beach umbrella or do a headstand? Get creative with your tanning poses and take some silly photos of the interesting shapes you make with your body. Just don't forget the sunscreen!
Sand Sculptures
Bring your inner artist to life by sculpting elaborate sandcastles and sculptures. Grab some buckets and shovels and let your imagination run wild. Build giant sandcastles complete with moats, bridges, and towers. Or get creative and sculpt mermaids, sea turtles, whales and other ocean creatures. Having a sand sculpture competition with friends or family can make it even more fun. Don't forget to take lots of pictures before the tide comes in!
Limbo At The Beach
How low can you go? Have some laughs with friends and family with a beach limbo contest. All you need is a limbo stick (a pool noodle or beach umbrella will do) and some music. Take turns shimmying underneath the bar and see who can go the lowest without falling over. It's wacky fun for all ages!
Beach Photo Shoot
Get your squad together and have an outrageous beach photo shoot! Bring fun props like boas, sunglasses, inflatables, or whatever silly items you can think of. Additionally, since vigorous play can easily cause you to perspire in the sweltering weather, beach attire needs to take appropriate fabrics into account. Take turns posing with the props and snapping pics of each other. The wackier the better! Play with weird facial expressions, poses, and photo bombing each other. You'll get some hilarious shots to look back on.
Beach Yoga
Looking for some zen on the sand? Grab your yoga mat and try your hand at some beach yoga. The sound of the waves and the breeze on your skin will take your practice to the next level. Try yoga poses that incorporate the beach elements like downward dog, tree pose using a palm tree, and Warriors by the shore. Just watch your footing in the sand!
Beach Cookout
A beach day isn't complete without a cookout! Pack up a portable grill, beach chairs, games, and food for a fun beach barbecue. Grill up burgers, hot dogs, shrimp and more. Play games like cornhole toss or volleyball. Sit around the fire chatting at sunset. End the night roasting marshmallows for s'mores over the flickering flames.
Beach Dance Party
Get your groove on with an epic family dance party right on the sand! Make a beach playlist filled with upbeat hits to get everyone dancing. Break out some fun glow sticks, leis, sunglasses and other accessories to add to the festive vibes. Show off your best dance moves and have a blast dancing with the waves. It's a great way to let loose and make memories.
