10 Fun Things to Do at the Beach

One of the most fun things to do at the beach with family is hosting a picnic. Why don’t you do the same with yours! Bring your family and friends and have a cheerful time picnicking on the expansive beds of sand. From playing on the beach with your kids to enjoying meals together, you can do everything that makes a picnic memorable. Bring some snacks along or ask each of your picnic partners to bring one home-cooked food to host a potluck. Or, you can get takeouts from the food joints and restaurants near the beach. Eat, play and say ‘cheese’ while clicking pictures. Happy picnicking!

After enjoying the thrilling water activities to do at the beach, you must be hungry. No worries! Most beaches house an array of food stalls where you can order delicious snacks and meals. We suggest you try seafood when you are visiting a beach. The authentic seafood found on beaches is rare to find elsewhere. Different fried fishes and crabs are available to satiate your cravings. The crispy, salty and spicy flavours of these seafood dishes will surely leave you craving for more and more.

There are quite a few beaches from where you can watch dolphins on the sea. Watching these adorable creatures enjoy their natural habitat and play around is an endearing sight. To get to know them from close, you can also go swimming along with the dolphins on some beaches. Some organisations on a number of beaches also arrange dolphin spotting activities in which you can participate.

A great way to enjoy a holiday is just by spending a lazy day relaxing and enjoying your company. What better place than a beach to do that! Lie down on the cushiony sand bed, wear your sunglasses and bask in the sunrays. Feeling the warmth of the sun while enjoying the beach scenes is quite rejuvenating. You can also read your favourite novel if you wish while sunbathing.

Playing outdoor games is one of the fun beach activities that you can enjoy. Beaches provide such a huge space that you can arrange many outdoor games there. Frisbee, volleyball, badminton, freeze tag, hopscotch, whatever you feel like, you can play with your friends and family on a beach. These games will not only make the kids happy but will also be quite a refreshing experience for adults.

One of the most unique beach activities that you can consider trying is making your own castle out of sand. Give the sand any shape you want with your hands and create a unique castle. Start by making smaller castles and as you get better with the art, try making bigger and more ornate ones. This is a great way to explore your creativity and spend time in a productive manner. Especially, encourage your kids as creating sandcastles can boost their creativity and imagination power. Once you are done making your own sandcastle, take a picture of it, post on Instagram and let your followers admire your creation.

Imagine watching the orangish gold hues of the sun embellishing the entire sky as it rises from the horizon. What a mesmerising sight it will make! And to get the best view of this sunrise, beaches can be the ideal location. Sit on the beach at the time of dawn and see the rising sun illuminating the entire surrounding. You will feel rejuvenated and alive just by the sight of it. Capture photographs of this beautiful sunrise for admiring later on. At dusk, you will get a similarly pleasing experience as the sun sets on the horizon.

To explore the beauty of beaches in their entirety, you can take a lazy stroll through the beach. Many beaches are surrounded by lush green forests, enormous rocks or tall palm trees. Go explore these natural beauties by the beaches. You can go hiking in the surrounding jungles for some adventure as well. If you are with your partner, hold hands and take a walk on the beach in the evening. The cold breezes, dim light, surrounding naturescape, everything will create a perfect ambience for spending some romantic time together. Many also come to beaches in the morning for a revitalising morning walk. If you are a fitness freak, you will love to do that too!

At night, beaches are not very crowded and this is the best time to host a bonfire party. Arrange a bonfire at a convenient spot on the beach and gather around with your loved ones for a great time while enjoying the warmth of the bonfire. Many beaches in Goa host bonfire parties. You can take part in those too. Play fun games, dance under the open sky, sing together, eat snacks or share your deep secrets with your friends as you gossip. The combination of cold breezes, starry sky and a bonfire is absolutely charming. So, don’t miss it!

All these activities sound fun! When you are done deciding the activities you would want to enjoy, plan a trip to a beach that suits your wishlist and get going. The beaches are calling you!
