Beaches are the number one destinations world wide for vacationing, exploring, or for just plain relaxing. From with the boho fashion scene that you might have planned to the sandy parties your friends might go to, see how you can make your beach vacay a lot better with these tips!
While you think there is nothing that can go wrong, consider these aspects before heading off with a towel and a bathing suit!
🌞 Weather 🌞
If you are exploring for the sake of adventure then you don't need to bother about the climatic conditions, but if you are on a holiday--consider the weather first! The seas are not always Sun and Fun, like in my experience in Langkawi or Goa.Beaches which receive heavy rainfall for a lot of the year are best planned for well in advance. Weather forecast should be first on your mind the moment you decide to go on beach vacations.
🌞 Wonderbag 🌞
Another very important thing people miss to plan during beach vacations - their swim stuff! OK, I am not talking about just a swim suit and a cap or floppy hat and sunglasses!Those are for Fun Time!
I am talking about afterwards? Wet clothes sticking to you, sand in every corner of your being and the itch of suntan!
My personal experiences of beaches have left me high and dry after the wet fun! Unshakable sand scratching my skin through the suit, towels looking like a bodybag after I wrap myself, and the worst of all patchy--tanned skin!! Nightmare!
I'd like to carry a bag with all the beach essentials, and though it might sound like a lot of stuff to lug around, it's better to have one than ruin the experience of beach vacations.
1. Carry a big PVC bag (X-ray Bag) bigger the better, they look so fashionable and are totally water resistant.Take some large size Ziplock bags as well. Ziplock bags are awesome to hold your wet stuff in them, and you won't even damage your outer bag with leakage or wetness absorption.
2. A cordless hair dryer. Man oh Man are these helpful or what! You can recharge and keep them with you for immediate wireless drying. Use them for your hair, sure, but its more useful for drying accidentally soiled stuff like money instantly.
3. Microfiber towel. Regular towels become bulky after wiping. But these babies don't soak up that much, but they get the water off of you for sure. You can just fold them back and slide them in your bag.
You get them in most sporting goods store nowadays, or you can order online.
4. Microfiber T-shirts. This is a well known fabric for moisture control. When you want to change after your beach swim, I suggest microfiber clothing. You get them easily online or in a mall and are lightweight as well. Avoid tight clothes after a swim as they can make you feel suffocated, opt for wraps or cover-ups or even loose fitted maxi's instead.
🌞 That Perfect Sunrise Memory 🌞
Everyone wants a good sunrise picture but often, get the shot wrong! When most of us carry our camera phones and click away, we forget to consider the vast outdoor setting. To click a good sunrise or sunset picture on your phone,
1. You first need to understand the weather. Softer sunlight means better picture. So the sooner you wake up (I know it' soooo difficult) the better your shot can be.
This is why we need a composition in the frame. An old tree on the beach or your silhouette blackened out with the sun at the background, will give some depth to the picture.
3. Angle- there are so many ways to get the beach , sun and the water together. I personally love to lie down on my stomach and raise my phone to adjust all the elements into one frame. A low shot can walk you through the picture instead of making you feel like you're looking at it flat.4. Props - Its not what you think! Not everything's a magazine shoot, but sometimes it's nice to click a sunny picture with props, like a beach ball or an umbrella or even balloons and bicycles.
🌞 Do Not Miss !🌞
I have listed down 3 beach activities you don't wanna miss during your vacation.
❤ Underwater walk . This is an amazing experience which I will never forget and I was actually afraid of fish!! Not anymore, and I found it very zen and relaxing too! You feel like a mer-person with fishes coming close, colorful corals making you feel alive, and the most stunning experience of being able to breathe underwater is unexplained!
This is surely in my top 3 activities to do.
❤ Parasailing! This is so exhilarating, you feel like Neptune himself sans the Trident of course! It's fun, it's available almost on every beach spot and it's a sure shot good experience. Fly like the wind over the ocean waves!
❤ A walk along the evening water with a drink in your hand should be the best way to enjoy the beach and stay calm and collected throughout your vacation. Take a lonely walk, let your thoughts be as rhythmic as the waves and just soak in the cool breeze as the sun sets behind you.
