these days one of the getaway is to soak on a beach and just enjoy the nature, not the hot temperature nature but to just bathe on the beach and leave all the worries behind from any stress. if you're the kind of person that don't want stress then make sure you will enjoy your time on the beach but why not check some guidelines to ensure you won't encounter any stress since the reason for going to the beach is to getaway and relax for a moment.
numero uno.... sunblock
yup, sunblock is will be your bestfriend during your trip not only it wont make your skin too dark after your getaway you will make sure that you wont have any sunburn and not to mention the sun these days are not the kind of sun that we have back then. it will definitely harm you either right away or in the near future. now don't be confuse between sunblock and sunscreen. major difference is that sunblock physically block harmful rays from the sun and the sunscreen just absorb the rays so that it won't pass through your skin.
shades are cool
now you've protected your skin it is time for your eyes, don't be too shy or afraid if you will look like a bee or mosquito when you wear your eye wear eventually you will thank yourself for wearing them. buy something that you will think if you either break or lose you won't mind, meaning buy something comfortable yet affordable. i prefer buying those that don't have the white plastic that holds on your nose and then eventually create marks and sometimes slips because your face becomes oily. so buy something that the part of the frame is the one that sits on your nose perfectly.
cold cold water
bring cold drinks like soda, juice, or much better water to keep you from being dehydarated.
towel, clothes and others
bring at least two set of towels for for yourself, either you will use it as something to sit on or be as something that you may use to dry yourself. bring light clothes and it is ok to bring dark colored clothes as it won't make any difference if you will wear light colored from dark colored. bring your toiletries like shampoo, soap, toothbrush etc. this may save you some buck because not all hotels have freebies.
when you get bored then bring....
bring your handheld like psp or ipod to keep you busy because on the beach you will find that it may be a little boring just to stay under your cottage doing nothing but people watching so bring something that may occupy your time and when you come up with something to do like swim again or maybe play beach volley then drop what you're doing as you may do that somewhere else and as much as you can do something on the beach that you know you may not do after your trip.
list list list....
not because you don't want to forget something like digicam, cellphone or other things it is because to save you money so list down as much as you can and then when it is like a day or two before your planned take off then sort out things that you really don't need.
key points...
is always try to enjoy the scenery because you may notice those scenery can be found only on your screen savers or on tv so try and enjoy the nature and you believe me after your getaway from the busy city you are going to be absolutely refreshed.
