Going to the beach is a (mostly) free activity that can provide hours of entertainment for children and adults of all ages. Our home, Surfside Beach, SC, is known as the family beach, but some experiences at the beach are universal, no matter your age or where you choose to vacation.
Here are 25 things you should do on your beach vacation:
- Dive into a crashing wave

- Thoroughly apply sunscreen to avoid sunburns
- Play volleyball
- Collect seashells
- Make sand angels
- Pack a picnic and eat it on the beach
- Go for a stroll at sunset
- Watch the sunrise
- Clean up litter to keep the beach beautiful
- Drink lots of water to stay hydrated
