Hitting the beach is one of life’s greatest pleasures. There’s nothing better than putting on sunscreen, hitting the road, and finding the best spot at the shore during the hot summer days. The beach is always a great activity to participate in, but there are some common methods to improve the experience. Here are several fun activities to do at the beach.
Sandcastle Building
An activity such as sand building is a very common one found throughout the world. A common practice is the construction of sandcastles in all sorts of shapes and forms. There are even international competitions for sculpting in the sand, with prizes given out to the best entries. So, if professionals can enjoy it, there’s no reason we common folk shouldn’t!
Surfing
Another popular attraction while visiting the beach is surfing. Surfing involves using a surfboard to ride the waves of the sea, offering much adrenaline and physical exercise for those performing it. Just make sure you choose the right beach and the right weather for the occasion. Not all beaches have waves sufficiently tall for surfing.
Lying on the Beach and Relaxing
You don’t necessarily have to be very active when you visit the beach. The beach itself is also an opportunity to relax and wash away the troubles of your routine life. Find a nice quiet spot, bring a foldable chair or a blanket, and lie down for a few moments of relaxation and calmness. You can also bring a book to read while you are at it if that’s what you prefer.
Playing Matkot
Matkot is one of Israel’s most famous sports and it is considered a classic choice for the ultimate beach experience. It involves the use of two wooden rackets and a rubber ball which are used to simply “play catch” with the ball. It’s a simple, relaxing sport which perfectly compliments the sea atmosphere of any beach visit.
Swimming in the Sea
The sea is right there for you to swim in, and nothing is stopping you. Get into the water and have some fun! You can also try swimming if you want to exercise a little during your time there. You won’t be disappointed!
