If we spend time on beaches oceanside, at a lake, or river, they provide recreation all summer long. Just a few of the relaxation topics that have come to mind include swimming, water sports, and sunbathing. We also enjoy playing Frisbee, volleyball, and long walks. On a hot summer day with friends, floating in the surf creates summer memories we will cherish for years to come.

Often, just packing a few icy beverages and a good book will make a beach day perfect. However, we are also responsible for the beach's care. Not only should we pack out what we pack out, but it's also important to follow the beach rules. Safety and fun go hand in hand.

How to celebrate national beach day

The American Red Cross has great advice on how to enjoy the beach.

  1. Only in designated areas can swim with a lifeguard or not.

  2. Go with a buddy. Never swim alone.

  3. Watch for currents, moving water, and riptides for riptides. These occur in oceans, lakes, and rivers.

  4. Swim in your depth. Don't swim longer than you are physically fit to doing.

  5. Take swimming lessons.

  6. Learn CPR.

To clean up your favorite beach, organize a team. Your beach will love it because it's nearing the end of the season. Find out what the plant needs by finding out what the facility needs. Next year, take up donations for supplies to keep the beach even cleaner. For your beach, donate garbage and recycling cans. Attend a seminar on water pollution and how to avoid it.

When enjoying the last days of summer, post photos of your favorite beach.
