Beach activities for you and your friends: you won't be bored. Alcohol, Debauchery, Breakaway: American Spring Break
What do you prefer on the beach - an even tan or a fun vacation? Guided by our advice, you will get both, catch a selection of hot ideas of what to do on the beach with your loved one, with friends or in splendid isolation.
fashion photo session
For two / for friends
Relaxed - at any time of the day, beginners - at dawn: using the best scenery in the world in the form of azure waves, golden sand, smooth pebbles, high mountains and clear skies, arrange a professional photo session that you can be proud of.
For such an event, all the outfits that you rashly took on vacation and never wore, like sandals with a dizzying stiletto heel, a translucent floor-length dress or a wide-brimmed movie star hat, will come in handy for such an event.
Like the pros, think things through in advance: location, storyboard, imagery, make-up, and explain to the assistants their responsibilities. Feel free to copy ideas: no one will figure out plagiarism, and you will have a wonderful photo session with you as a top model in your arsenal. Girlfriends taking standard photos at the edge of the waves will die of envy.
Yoga
For you
To achieve complete harmony with the sound of the waves, the breeze and the cries of seagulls, do hatha yoga right on the seashore. Early in the morning, while the beach is not yet full of people, you can complete the full complex. And in the heat of the day, try some simple exercises while you tan.
For example, close your eyes and stretch in Pashchimottanasana, meditate for a couple of minutes while sitting in Virasana, and stretch your spine in Marichiasana. These simple, effective and relaxing exercises will provide you with a toned body and a good mood for the whole day. And they will not embarrass the neighbors on the beach - after all, they are almost invisible.
If you've never tried yoga before, don't worry: the exercises for beginners are not difficult, and you can find easy poses on the Internet and take them with you.
Beach activities
For friends
Suitable for a large company - if you went on vacation with friends, then organizing a volleyball or frisbee championship on the sand will be much more interesting for you than lying around idle under the scorching sun. No wonder these games hold the lead on beaches around the world!
The advantages are obvious: you are on the move, so the tan will lie more evenly, and your skin will look healthy. In the heat of the game, you won’t even notice how you tighten your shins, get rid of excess and bring the muscles of your whole body into tone. In addition, team play will help you get to know each other better (if the company is new) and build good relationships.
Well, after the game, if it drags on - straight to the coastal party and a refreshing cocktail! The rules of the game will be explained to beginners at the sports equipment store or on the court if the beach has a net or ball rental.
SPA session
For you / for friends
Take a break: when the sun reaches its zenith, head to the local waterfront spa for an aromatic or Thai massage, algae wraps, mud mask or lymphatic drainage.
Be sure to ask the locals about the advantages of the resort: for example, there may be a deposit of valuable therapeutic mud or unique plants that are used in original procedures available only in this region. This is not to be missed!
Or arrange a SPA session yourself - for example, for you and your loved one. As a decoration, a wild beach, park or bungalow is suitable. You will need aromatic oils, which you can buy in the city, and stones that are easy to bring from the beach. Such a siesta with massage and cocktail will be to the taste of both of you.
Board games
For two / for friends
Board games that helped you pass the long winter evenings with your friends, take them to the beach - with them beach activities will become more fun! And as a bonus, in addition to tanning, you will also train your wit.
If you are a puzzle lover, take Scrabble on vacation - the game will not take up much space in your suitcase, and you can even play it on your own, not to mention a large company. On the eve of the party, play Party Alias, a colorful version of the "Say Different" game, the meaning of which is the interpretation of words.
And when you are alone with your boyfriend on a wild beach, try the ancient African game "Kallah", which will allow you to determine whose logic is still more effective: male or female!
snakes
For you / for friends
Remembering childhood is sometimes so fun! If the storm prevents you from swimming, it does not matter: for flying a real kite, this is only a plus. You can buy on the beach or bring from home.
To send a message to the world, paint the kite with your autographs and wishes and go to the pier for a grand launch. And now you can go back to sunbathing!
And for a night out on the beach, prepare special flying lanterns that glow in the dark. They exist in any size and color - for example, in the shape of a heart or similar to huge paper crafts, you can arrange a real parade of stars from them against the background of the night sky. Try it with friends or with your loved one - this is a very romantic alternative to bored fireworks.
Beach activities are very diverse, the main thing is a good mood.

Want to know how American students spend their spring break? Then check out this shocking report from the so-called "largest beach party on the planet", which brought together more than 60,000 American college students on South Padre Island, Texas, on the very border with Mexico.
The endless party on the Coca-Cola beach, which implies the enjoyment of relaxation, sun and sea, in reality is characterized by unrestrained drunkenness, drug use, debauchery and promiscuity. At the same time, many participants in the fun have not yet reached the age of 21 and, according to American laws, do not even have the right to drink beer.
Remarkably, the rest of the year, South Padre Island, where in 1804 the Catholic priest Padre Jose Nicholas Balli founded his farm, is a quite respectable place for American family vacations.
(Total 31 photos + 1 video)
1. About 60,000 college students head to South Padre Island every year to celebrate their spring break, the so-called springbreak.
2. Many have fun in the truest sense until you drop. For those who can no longer stand on their own, the police and friends help them get to a specially organized "field" first-aid post.
3. Things are so bad that the authorities had to organize a mobile medical center with 32 beds, which is usually used in military operations and natural disasters.
4. Here is an example of a standard beach entertainment - a girl, in the upside down position, must drink beer directly from the barrel.
5. And this young man in a red sombrero is already a client of the first-aid post. He cannot speak, but only emits an inarticulate zombie roar.
6. At 9 pm, the survivors of the beach party return to the hotels to rest before continuing the fun in the clubs, which are open until 2 am.
7. Another "standard" scene - the girls kiss to the approving cries of the crowd and calls to "show boobs!"
8. Quite democratic by local standards prices for alcohol in local stores contribute to the fun: a 1.75-liter bottle of vodka is sold for $11.95, although one cocktail in a bar costs $9.5 on average
9. You might be wondering why this girl is wearing so many beads? And this is a local custom - if you give the girl beads, she must show her breasts.
10. Judging by the excitement of young people gathered around the girl, this custom is very popular.
11. And the girls, apparently, also do not mind ...
12. Another great “tradition” is pouring beer on yourself. Well, why not formula one racers on a pedestal ...
13. On the beach, students drink beer straight from barrels and set their college flags on the sand. No doubt all colleges are honored to be represented in this way.
14. Without some kind of romance, too, it could not have done.
15. But this young lady, despite the presence of beads around her neck, decided, unlike many, not to part with her swimsuit top, for which she was booed by a disgruntled crowd.
16. For some, the party is over. During the holidays, the island's police make thousands of arrests for drunk driving, speeding, not wearing seat belts and other misdemeanors.
18. But back to those who can no longer not only dance, but simply stand on their feet ...
19. This is how the very first-aid post looks like, at times it looks more like a morgue. Soldiers who served in Iraq are present at the scene. Even they say that they have never seen anything like this nightmare anywhere before.
20. A representative of the Texas State Police orders to leave the beach.
21. Girls enjoy a vacation away from classrooms and the eyes of their parents.
22. Another scene of continued fun in the clubs - for those who can still drink, dance and have fun.
23. Dancing on the open veranda of the club Louie's Backyard.
24. The fun doesn't always end even after nightclubs close. Many move to hotels to continue the party there.
26. Perhaps no less shocking is the reaction of the local authorities to what is happening, which literally have to make a deal with their conscience. On the one hand, what is happening on the island, recognized as the second place after Las Vegas in the ranking of the most "carbon" parties in honor of spring break, does not fit into any decency and worries the local population, but on the other hand, it brings very, very good income.
27. Even according to the most conservative estimates, taking into account the cheap special offers designed for students (a trip to the island can fit in $ 200), the island's budget is replenished by $ 20 million in a week of vacation. In reality, we can safely talk about a much larger amount.
28. As a result, the authorities prefer to turn a blind eye to the excesses of thousands of minors, while fining them, for example, 500 dollars for glass on the beach.
29. Moreover, this whole orgy is cynically sponsored by such giant corporations as Coca-Cola, Vitaminwater, Bic, Trojan and others.
30. On one day, the "field hospital" accepts more than 60 patients, mostly 18-22 years old, at least 15 of whom are in a state of not only alcohol, but also drug intoxication. The number of calls to the rescue service 911 during the holidays exceeds the usual 5 times.
31. A representative of the island's fire department, also involved in preventing riots, assesses the situation as follows: “If they do not come here, they will go somewhere else. By giving up vacation parties here on the island, we won't stop them. So let them come here. We have at least been dealing with this for 30 years and at least we know what to expect and how to prepare for it.”

Relax on a nude beach in Portugal. Odeceix. October 3rd, 2014
How inconvenient it is to prepare posts on the phone, but what can you do for your favorite friends!
You are absolutely right in choosing the Friday post. What else do you need to write about on Friday? Of course, about the nudist beach! And you can write about cars another day.
I love sunbathing on nude beaches. Usually there are always very few people there, these beaches are not so easy to find, as a rule, they are more beautiful than large public ones and you don’t have to worry that there will be traces of a swimsuit on the body.
This beach was not easy to find, there is little written about this on the Russian Internet. That's why I decided to tell in more detail, suddenly someone else is interested. Here is a mobile report for you, all these pictures were taken on an iPhone.
In order to get to the beach, you still need to put on some clothes.
We write this name in the navigator. I don't know how to read.
We're going to the sea. We are already close. This is the public beach Praia de Odeceixe, but we are not here.
Near this beach you can eat all sorts of sea goats in a small cafe ...
For example, these are.
Then we turn left, drive a little more and park near this beautiful view. This is just the beach we need. The Internet says that this beach is on the list of the most beautiful beaches peace.
The specifics of the beach are warned in advance.
On the map it looks like this.
Us down. So later you will have to work a little on the way out of the beach ...
Unlike the public beach, where it is very difficult to park, there is plenty of free space here.
How I love these buses...
I got distracted by cars...
So the beach. It is clean and comfortable, there are few people. Everyone nests in the rocks because, as I later realized, the tide comes in very quickly.
At the moment when the entire sandy area was flooded with water, we were left alone, even the lifeguard left us.
And there was silence and beauty...
And I meditate lying on hot stones and wait for the wave to cover me ..
The sunscreen-smeared phone produced a beautiful effect.
I will also show some mobile photo creativity.
By the way, for me there is only one minus - very cold water. To swim, I had to take a long run with a low start, and then run back very quickly. But local walruses bathed more relaxed.
And a couple more...
I hope someone will find my story helpful. We spent three wonderful days on this beach and got a beautiful, even tan.
Very soon I am going to go to my beloved Cuba, I will try to bring a story about a similar beach from there, it is also there.
I wish you a sunny weekend!
