How to have fun at the beach
And if you don't feel like trying your hand at making castles and sand sculptures, here are some other ideas you can use to spend a day at the beach.
In the age of the 'always-connected' it is increasingly common to see people under the beach umbrella who instead of enjoying the view and engaging in interesting activities at the beach engage in social media.
Or some people see the beach as an Olympic swimming pool ideal for training to exhaustion.
If you think that spending time at the beach is not just about taking selfies or swimming, here are a few hints so that you don't miss a second of the fun.
In Sardinia, being on the beach means having many fulfilling activities to do, the beaches are full of pastimes and things to do, here are some of the most fun things you can do at the beach.
Playing Frisbee and rackets
Frisbee and racquetball are a classic game to play at the beach, an activity reminiscent of summer and reminiscent of the children's entertainment.
These are two beach games that one never tires of playing on the shoreline, if possible on a beach that also accepts animals with dogs and furry friends.
Both are cheap games that can be done without spending too much.
P.S. Don't leave the toys on the beach, wind and waves can take them away
Reading books and magazines
Holiday is generally synonymous with complete relaxation, perhaps even a time to do some things that we are unable to do during the year due to lack of time.
So park yourself under a parasol or in the shade of a tree and open your newspaper or the book you have been waiting to read for a long time.
Enjoy the breeze and the sound of the sea in the background and read what you like.
Searching for shells and pebbles
A great pastime on the beach can be sifting through a section of beach in search of oddly shaped stones and colourful shells. Take pictures of the most beautiful shells you find so that you can search for their name and characteristics.
Remember that it is not allowed to take sand and shells off the beach, if everyone took them away then there would be nothing left to see.
SUP, windsurfing and watersports
If you fancy a bit of sport and exercise during your day at the beach, you will certainly find surf, windsurf, canoe, kayak, jet-ski, water-ski, kitesurf and SUP hire nearby.
If you are inexperienced, you can also dedicate an hour or two to taking lessons, so you can learn, have fun and also meet new friends.
Discovering saltwater pools
This beach game literally drives children crazy! At the edge of the beach there are almost always rocks that create small tide pools, which the sea fills and the sun empties.
These small puddles are always full of small strangely shaped creaturesYou just have to know how to observe. Crabs, shrimps, urchins, stars, sea tomatoes, limpets, mussels, barnacles, be careful because they blend in well.
You can spend a whole day seeing how many different animals you can count. Take photographs and remember never to touch the animals, some may even be stinging.
It is important to leave them where they are without removing them from water and their natural environment. Never put them in a bucket to boil in the sun.
Exploring the backdunal area and pond
Almost all beaches in Sardinia have a backdunal area that hosts a pond or what remains of it during the 'summer shallows'.
Many beaches have in the immediate vicinity paths and passages to explore where you can make small, not too demanding excursions. In this way you can admire beautiful panoramas while immersed in nature. It is great exercise and after the walk to cool off you can take a bath.
P.S. Don't go for a barefoot walk, remember to take slippers with you to avoid foot discomfort
Picnic
Having a picnic is a fun activity that all children enjoy. On the beach, then, it is even more intriguing and fun, and with a little imagination, finding a hidden corner can acquire the flavour of a lunch on a deserted island.
If you did not bring your own supplies with you to the beach, you might find a bar to get everything you need. If you are on the beach with a large group of people, everyone could prepare an easy dish.
With everyone's contribution, it will be easy to spend unforgettable moments during a picnic on the beach. Or picnic for 2 on the beach could be the best time to spend time with a loved one, an unforgettable tête-à-tête.
Watching the sunset
One of the most beautiful moments at the beach is certainly sunset. The beach starts to empty out, most people leave, the temperature starts to become more pleasant.
This activity is a favourite with many at the beach because it is really always a breathtaking spectacle.
It is also a moment you can take for yourself, to consolidate the tranquillity of the holiday and prepare for the aperitif and dinner.
Do what makes you feel good
The truth is that you are on holiday and therefore you have to take time to do what you like best. Being at the beach is always fulfilling and fun, whatever you choose to do
Remove yourself, include yourself, don't think about problems, now just think about doing relaxing and fulfilling activities!
