Nearly everyone dreams of a luxurious beach holiday in some remote resort in a paradise island. There is just something alluring about being able to swim in the ocean, and bask next to it for hours. You are free, calm, and relaxed as you listen to the soft waves of the ocean, allowing your mind to wander to distant thoughts and places. You get to explore the expansive beach line, reaching out to the ever-elusive horizon, and finding great and mysterious wonders as you walk along. The sun is usually at its best behaviour during such a holiday, and the entire experience leaves you rejuvenated, and re-invigorated.
However, a beach holiday can go horribly wrong when you ignore some minor but essential elements. Your main goal is to be safe, comfortable and relaxed throughout your entire stay at the beach resort. Having a handle on these essential elements will guarantee you exactly that; safety, comfort, and peace of mind.
If you want to get the best experience from your beach holiday, it is advisable to follow the tips below.
1.Carry the right type of sunscreen
Sunscreen is of the utmost importance for a beach vacation. You will be out in the sun for long stretches of time, and you have to ensure that you keep your skin safe from the strong sunrays as well as the harmful radiation emanating from the sun.
However, it is not just enough to bring sunscreen along with you on your beach vacation. You need to ensure that you bring the right type for your skin. Skin experts usually recommend sunscreen with more than SPF 30. Ensure that the sunscreen you bring has at least reached this minimum threshold.
In addition, ensure that you use your sunscreen at least every hour or two to enhance your protection.
2. Carry along a lot of water
When heading out to a public beach, ensure that you bring with you a sufficient supply of clean drinking water. You need to remain hydrated throughout the day as you swim in the ocean, play, or just simply bask in the sun. You can carry the bottles of water inside a cooler making them easier to move around as well as cool enough to drink on a hot day.
For private beaches, the case is a bit different as the water should be readily available to you. That is one of the perks of booking a private beach; you get access to your own little piece of heaven with the resort’s staff available to cater to all of your needs, as well as other special amenities. For instance, in a private beach bali, you can find fully stocked coolers with several water bottles, as well as your other preferred beverages.
3. Eat a healthy breakfast before heading out to the beach
Make sure you have a hearty and healthy breakfast before going down to the beach. Eating a filling meal in the morning will give you the necessary energy to stay under the sun for those long hours, and to engage in beach activities. In addition, it will ensure that you stay hydrated for those extensive periods under the sun.
4. Take care of your phone
It is completely understandable that you want to take photos of the beautiful ocean, and everything else on the beach using your smartphone or camera. However, it is advisable to take photos far away from the water in order to keep the device safe. It sounds obvious, but it is a common phenomenon for people to ruin their smartphone or camera when trying to take a selfie as they catch a wave. Phones and cameras, as well as any other electronic devices should be kept far from the mass of water to avoid extensive damage.
