How sunbathing becomes an unforgettable highlight with your bestie
Summer, sun, sand and sea - what could be better than a day at the beach with your best friend? In this article, we share tips for an unforgettable beach day and a handy checklist to make sure your trip goes smoothly.
Why a day at the beach is so special
A day at the beach is the perfect opportunity to relax, enjoy the sun and spend quality time with your best friend. Time for in-depth conversations while you gaze out at the sea on the beach, your skin tanning and clearing from the salt air and water. Your energy levels are sure to be recharged after this day!
Tips for the perfect beach day
Book a beach chair online:
To get the best spots and make the most of the day, it is advisable to book your beach chair online well in advance. This will also save you the hassle of queuing and you can save your cash for ice cream. Do you really need a beach chair? Of course - bestie time is quality time! You can lie comfortably in a beach chair and don't have to squeeze like sardines on a crowded sandy beach where you constantly have to worry about attracting a ball, a frisbee or unwanted glances. After all, today is supposed to be all about you!
Don't forget sun protection:
Good sun protection is essential to avoid skin damage. Sunscreen, a cap and sunglasses are a must. There's nothing worse than ending your day with burning skin or sunstroke.
Pack snacks and drinks:
Pack enough water and (healthy) snacks. My tip: Water with frozen cucumber slices or lemon slices turns boring water into a refreshing beach drink.
Plan activities:
Whether it's reading a book, swimming in the sea or just chatting - talk in advance about what activities you would enjoy on the beach. Do you want to have lunch in a beach chair, go to a beach bar, take part in a sporting activity or yoga session or hire a SUP together?
Enjoy the moment:
A souvenir photo is of course a MUST, but put your cell phone aside and enjoy your time together.
