Essentials for maximizing fun and safety while at the beach
- Water bottles: Freeze water bottles and add them to a cooler. As the day goes by, the ice will begin to melt, leaving you with icy cold water. A good substitute for a cooler is insulated water bottles filled with ice.
- Lightweight apparel: Cover-ups are great when relaxing on the shore and may be necessary for entering beachside restaurants and stores.
- Sunscreen: No one is exempt from the effects of UV rays. Make sure to apply and reapply sunscreen to all exposed skin while at the beach.
- Hat: Whether it’s a bucket or straw hat, protect your scalp and eyes while looking stylish and cute.
Have a Water Balloon Fight
Unleash your competitive spirit and inner wild child and have a water balloon fight in the backyard.
All you need are some water balloons and a faucet for a fun and refreshing balloon fight.
Also, you can intensify the fight with extra water toys; such as splash bombs, and water blasters.
Prepare Refreshing Cold Drinks
The importance of drinking fluids intensifies with rising temperatures. In addition to drinking water, have some fun with your Summer beverage selections. Such as:
- Iced coffee
- Frozen lemonade
- Sweet tea
- Smoothies
- Milkshakes
- Fruit-infused water
- Mocktails
Spend Time at the Lake
Enjoy calm waters, nature, and picturesque views by spending some time at the lake.
From swimming to kayaking, playing frisbee, and jet skiing, there are so many fun activities to do at the lake.
Similar to the beach, make sure to bring refreshments and sun protection essentials.
