The ABCs of a Beach Trip

I love the beach. In fact, the beach is my favorite place to be. When I go to the beach, no matter which beach it is, I get the feeling that I am where I'm supposed to be. The beach provides me with a home away from home every time I go, and that's something I love. After my recent trip to the beach, I find it necessary to give a shout out to the best place on earth and share the ABCs of every beach trip...

1. Alcohol

Because everything is better with booze.

2. Beach Babes

Whether they're male, female, or anything in between I guarantee you will see at least one really HOT person on your beach trip.

3. Coolers

Your portable fridge for any trip. It can be filled with sandwiches, water bottles, Gatorades, your alcohol, a salad. Pretty much anything. Coolers are an amazing invention.

4. Driving

Part of the fun with a beach trip is the car ride to get there. License plate game, anyone?

5. Excitement

Mention a beach trip to me and I'll start getting excited weeks in advance. The beach always gets me pumped!

6. Fish

Whether you're fishing or just swimming, it's likely you'll see(or be touched by) a fish.

7. Games

Seeing who can get their feet deepest in the sand, Bocce ball, cornhole. Games enhance any get together, even a trip to the beach.

8. Hats

Baseball hats, big straw hats, visors, the list goes on. When you go to the beach you can see the different types of hats scattered all around.

9. Ice pops

Bust open your cooler and eat one of these delicious little treats when the sun is getting just a little too hot.

10. Jet skis

Though I have never been on one, they always look like so much fun!

11. Kids

The beach is always full of kids who are just looking to have a fun day. Sandcastles everywhere and we have children to thank for that.

12. Lifeguards

Saving someone from drowning or just sitting in that tall chair all day long, you always wanted to rock that sunscreen on your nose like that as a kid.


13. Money

Even a simple day to the beach is going to cost you some money, but every penny spent is easily worth it.

14. Night Swim

Late night walk on the beach followed by a relaxing night time swim? Sounds peacefully perfect, doesn't it?

15. Ocean

Deep and full of things unknown, the oceans provide us with some of the best places on this earth: beaches around the world.

16. Pier

Take a walk, go fishing, or just simply admire the view; piers are always a great edition to any beach trip.


17. Quiet time

Vacation is time for fun, and fun always involves a little peace and quiet to escape your everyday problems.

18. Radio

When your quiet time is up, it's time to crank up the tunes and jam while soaking up some sun.

.

19. Sand

Sand helps make some of the most fun on any trip. Castles, burying each other, and filling your cars because the beach refuses to let you leave without a souvenir.

20. Tan lines

Hours in the sun and what do you have to show for it? You're crazy tan(or sunburn) lines.

21. Umbrellas

The only shield you have to provide some relief from those sun rays throughout the day.

22. Volleyball

There is no game like sand volleyball. Gather your family and friends and get ready to have the time of your life.

23. Waves

Body surfing, regular surfing, almost getting knocked over trying to walk in the shallows. Waves are what make the beach different than just some backyard pool. They provide an unpredictable sense of enjoyment to your water-wading experience.

24. X... I got nothing

Who needs x anyway.

25. Yeti

A yeti cooler ties together a great beach experience by keeping your drinks cold after you take them from the cooler.

26. Zero chance you'll want to leave

When I go to the beach I never want to leave. I'm in paradise and I don't want to go back to my everyday life.

Next time you go to the beach, think about these ABCs!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
