Now that Memorial Day 2010 is over, the summer season has officially begun. Are you ready for it? Its time to take care of the family, book your vacation, treat yourself into the sun and to get rid of this horrible mayo tan! Those of you who live in the Coastal regions will for sure know what to take to the beach. For all of our readers who don’t have the chance to hit the beach every day, we have prepared a list of the Top 8 beach items to take with you to make your trip a success.
Things to take to the beach: Sunscreen
You must not forget your sunscreen, especially when you go to the beach in Southern California! Always make sure you are covered and protected from the sun. Even if it slows down your tanning process, your health is much more important. Plus: getting a sunburn is no fun either.
Things to take to the beach: Sunglasses
The sunglasses will protect your eyes from the bright sun. This is very important as the bright light, especially when it shines onto the water, can seriously damage your eyes and sight.
Things to take to the beach: Hat or umbrella
As much as you want to get a tan, please do not sit in the sun for hours and hours! Not only will it weaken your body, but it will also severely burn you and can easily get you bad headaches.
Things to take to the beach: Towel or beach chair
Take something with you that allows you to sit down easily and comfortable. Especially if you have a hard time getting up you may want to consider a beach chair over a towel. This will get you less sandy, make it easier for you to get up, and you can comfortably sit and relax watching the beauty of the ocean.
Things to take to the beach: A bottle of water
Always make sure to have enough water with you so that your body will stay cool and does not lose too much liquid. Avoid juices or sweet sodas but rather drink plenty of water and unsweetened tea. It is even better not to use ice, since a warmer drink will actually make your body sweat less in the heat of the summer.
Things to take to the beach: Shoes
Take some shoes with you that protect your feet from the heat of the sand. This is also an important advisory of you go to beaches that have some stones or rocks that you need to walk on to get to the water.
Things to take to the beach: Entertainment for on the sand
There is so much to do on the beach, you will need to go much more than once to try everything even if you do not get into the water! Take some games with you to play on the beach, listen to music, read a good book, grab your friends and have a nice BBQ, or just sit an enjoy the view of the ocean and the joy of the day. How about some beach volleyball or beach soccer?
Things to take to the beach: Entertainment in the water
Try how to ride the waves! Maybe there is a surfing school close by, or you have a body board that you want to try? Or grab your snorkeling stuff to explore what is beneath the sea level.
You see, going to the beach is not only relaxing, but it will also make up for the day you would go to the gym. Walking and running in the sand and the water gives you energy, a clear mind, great tan and will almost guarantee a wonderful day! Your Fox Rent A Car team wishes you a great summer of 2010!
