Beach Games

When you plan your vacations around a beach location, one must be creative when it comes to entertaining yourself.  A week is a long time to just sit in a beach chair, under an umbrella, and sipping margaritas.


If me it's easy.  When.the beach is crowded with sunbathers, there is always something that will catch your eye that is funny, what the hell, or you gotta  be kidding me....

The old standbys include playing in the surf, building sand castles, reading a book, or just baking like bacon.

Here is a list of other amusing things to do:

1. Squirting some sun screen on your partner while they are napping and pretend they just got the bird flyover treatment.  Saw it done and I've never laughed so hard!

2.  Watch others enter the surf and try and guess which ones are turning.the water yellow.  When the water is really cold it is hilarious to watch them ease into the surf!

3.  Saw this one yesterday. On a big surf day, play kickball.   Kick a ball into the surf and wait on the waves to return it to you.

4.  Watch for the guy with the expensive sunglasses on his head with no strap on them.  Chances are he will return from the surf without them.  See it every beach trip.

5.  Look for the solo gal with the selfie stick.  It's amusing to see how many poses these women will do for that perfect selfie pic!

6.  Bring some left over bread or crackers.  When you spot a sea gull close to your beach neighbors that are face down or taking a nap, feed the bird by throwing the the scraps over near the peeps.  Before you know it one bird  becomes ten, then twenty.

7.  Apply a hand print with sun.screen on the back of your buddy.  By the end of the day he ends up with a red outline of your hand!

8.  When you spot a gal with a tattoo,  immediately guess how many others she might have then start looking and counting.

9.  Have your spousal unit be on the lookout for oddities and strange behaviors.  They make good blog postings!

10.  Take pictures of the days events and share  them with your Facebook friends.  But remember, when it comes to your beach party, what happens on the beach stays on the beach!
