What do you do at the beach?

I generally want to jump into the water straight away, but will admit that sometimes the weather can bring down the better part of my enthusiasm.

The beach is the best place for a natural and free exfoliant! So get those bare feet running around in the sand back and forwards. Don't forget to take photos of your disappearing foot trails if you wade into the wet sand.

If I lived closer I'd love to make a habit of going to the beach alone. Sometimes having your family around is an obstacle when you'd like to do some rockpool exploring.

I love surfing those waves, and spending a bit of time plodding along and swimming in the water. It is also great to play some beach volleyball, as well as to just chill out in the sand and sunbathe. It is also fun going to the beach and just walking on the footpath - with or without a dog. So much fun at the beach.

We usually swim, snorkel, fish, play ball games and occasionally relax and read.

Believe it or not, I am not a big fan of swimming. I believe that when I enter the water I become part of the food chain. However, I am also not one to sit still. I am either taking photos of landscapes, waves, birds or my kids - or - I am walking around the beach looking at different things in the sand, on the rocks etc. If there was a volley ball net there I probably would play!

I love a good run along the beach first to work up a sweat, then a plunge into the ocean for a refreshing swim.

I like to walk along the beach and wet my feet in the tiny waves. I also like taking photos. I am not a big fan of going in the sea. It's just too messy.
