Relaxed day at the beach
A slow day at the beach: shade, snacks, shells and a paddle now and then.
You need
- towels
- sunscreen and hats
- water and snacks
- a beach umbrella or sunshade
- a bucket and spade
Steps
- Pack the beach bag the night before.
- Set up your spot above the high-tide line, near shade if you can.
- Put sunscreen on everyone before they run off.
- Swap between calm things: a book, a shell hunt, a nap in the shade.
- Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours and after every swim.
Stay within arm's reach of under-sixes in the water, and keep everyone in the shade from noon to 4 pm.
