Make Your Beach Holiday All the More Exciting With These 5 Activities

  • May 6, 2022
  • Jules

There’s genuinely nothing quite like a beach holiday. The combination of sunshine, the smell of the ocean and that pure, relaxing vibe that you can’t get anywhere else is unbeatable.

However, if you’re there for long enough, you might start to get a little sick of lying around drinking cocktails on the beach, day in and day out (we’re kidding). Either way, whether you’re enjoying lazing around on the sand or looking for something more exciting to do, the ocean is full of opportunities for wet and wild fun. Here are a few ideas for you to consider. 

Scuba Diving

One of the most fulfilling and breath-taking experiences the sea has to offer is getting up close and personal with the ocean life in a scuba suit. You’ll be able to see and experience more than you could have even imagined was down there, and once you’ve had a taste, you’ll never want to stop.

This does take a little effort though – you’ll need lessons and a certification before you can start diving, but this will allow you to scuba almost anywhere in the world. Abyss Scuba Diving is a great place to start for your diving courses or equipment if you’re looking to get started. You can also get your own underwater scooter. It’s putting your scuba diving experience in a whole new level. The scooter is portable, lightweight and you can attach a GoPro. 

Surfing

If you’re a bit of a sport or fitness fanatic, you might want to get your heart rate up and your muscles working a little while you’re on holiday. Instead of heading to the gym, why not try out a new water sport like surfing? You can take lessons and rent a board if necessary, and learn how to ride the waves. 

If you’re a beginner surfer, spending some time learning the ropes will be a great start to your beach holiday. It’s a great full-body workout, a load of fun, and you’ll get to laugh at your friends and family when they completely wipe out. 

Wakeboarding

If you have a boat, wakeboarding is a great rush and a fun way to spend an afternoon burning off energy.

This takes less skill than surfing, so you won’t need lessons but you’ll still most likely fall off your board a few times to give everyone a laugh. Set up games to see who can stay upright for the longest and put a prize on the line for some extra fun. 

Shark Cage Diving

For the more adventurous types or adrenaline junkies, there’s always the option of coming nose-to-nose with an underwater killing machine. Of course, inside the cage, you’ll be completely safe, but this won’t necessarily do anything to dampen that thrill of fear. Check out the best shark diving locations in the world if wetting your swimsuit sounds like something you’d want to do. 

Yachting

If you’re looking to add a little luxury to your holiday, you could consider renting a yacht for the weekend. Instead of lazing on the sand, you can laze on comfortable recliners with a cocktail in hand. It’s an extra little bit of fun, and there are plenty of things to do on a yacht to make it extra worthwhile.
