A Day For The Beach

@Kandae11 (54981)
August 30, 2022 9:22am CST
Today August 30 is designated National Beach Day , a day which celebrates all the sandy beaches and " focuses on the need to keep them clean". So many things you can do at the beach apart from swimming - like playing volleyball, frisbee, picnicking or simply relaxing with a book. Summer is almost over, so if you haven't gone there yet , today is the day to make your move. What do you usually wear at the beach? - shorts, t- shirts, Wraps , bikinis or full bathing suits? Is there a beach near you, and have you gone yet for the summer? Do you prefer going with family, friends or by yourself? Happy National Beach Day. Pixabay image.

We have no sea in Switzerland, so we have no beaches. When I lived in Monte Carlo I liked to walk along the seashore, wearing a bikini. I always went with my husband.

We haven't been swimming since the pandemic began. The closest "beach" is over half an hour away...

Quite a lot of people stayed away from beaches during the pandemic. In some countries the beaches are crowded again. - but covid had not left. Even before the pandemic l avoided crowds. The beaches l go to are semi secluded with little over a dozen persons around.

@Kandae11 We have a choice between the lake shore or a river bank. The river is too cold for me to be able to swim in and the lake shore is overgrown with weeds and brush. There are venomous snakes along both and with the lake shore overgrown, people aren't trying to get close to the lake to swim.

I live near beaches. I'm a deep sea swimmer, but people come here very early in the morning for it's so hot here sea water also hot. I go to beach thrice a week only. Your beaches there surely full of people.

Deep sea swimmer, that's good. There are some beaches where you will find a lot of people, especially on a holiday, but we have a lot of beaches so there are many uncrowded ones.

When it is not crowded the beach is a great place to relax or whatever you choose to do.

I know how much you would appreciate living where there is easy access to a beach, you're a person who loves nature. I hope you get the opportunity once again.

Happy Beach Day to you, too. We took a ride to the beach on Sunday and had dinner there. I always used to wear a bikini, but these days wear strapless suits. I prefer going to any of the many beaches we have here with my hubs and/or the family. In Florida, I go with hubs, family, and friends. Taking long walks and swimming is for me!

@Kandae11 That sounds pleasant. The sun is too bright for my sensitive eyes to read, even with sunglasses. I used to bake myself for a tan, but gave that up years ago. Too little, too late.

I think it would be really nice having dinner at the beach. I usually wade around in the water close to the shore or relax on a blanket with a book and my favorite snack.

Glad to know about this day. I haven't visited beach much may be once or twice with friends. I haven't entered water, just on the shore so regular clothes. It must be fun to play with water on the beach. Have a good day!! Take care

We are about 45 minutes either way from 2 beaches, on 2 complete different bodies of water. When we go we usually enjoy taking our shoes off and walking at the water's edge and then out to the end of the pier.

I haven't been to the beach in a long time. I usually wear a two piece bathing suit. But right now I can't fit in my bathing suit. I usually go with family. I don't live near a beach.

When you get the opportunity to go again you can treat yourself to a new bathing suit.

We are not really beach people and rarely go. However, I'm sure we are in the minority. Many Australians love their days at the beach.

I don't go to the beach anymore because I take medicine that makes me feel sick in the heat. When I did go to the beach in the olden days, I always wore a bikini top and shorts, because I liked to be active on the beach with volleyball and just goofing around with my friends/family.

Beach volleyball is a very popular sport. At least there are good memories.
