The whole point of a beach vacation is to completely let go of your worries and have a fun time. But having fun does not necessarily mean engaging in rigorous and energy-intensive activities like riding a jet ski, playing frisbee, or snorkeling. Having fun can also mean simply unwinding and enjoying some downtime.
When you go to the beach, you don’t have to feel obliged to get up and frolic around. You can just kick back and doing relaxing activities such as:
Going on a leisurely walk.
Part of the reason why you’re going on the beach is admiring the beautiful coastline, so why not do that? You can enjoy a peaceful walk and veer away from the crowds by your lonesome if you want to clear your head. If you want to have more privacy, you can even opt to watch the sunrise early in the morning when everyone else is still asleep. Strolling on the beach can help you relax your mind and simply be in the moment. You can even spot unique shells and pieces of rare sea glass along the way. Taking those memento home can make the trip memorable, even if you mostly did strolling.
Soak up the sun.
If you don’t feel like taking a long stroll and want to be completely still, why not consider lying down and sunbathing? Sometimes, just lying on the sand, soaking up the sun, and breathing in the fresh, ocean air is relaxing enough. All you need to do is grab a towel, apply ample sun protection to avoid sunburns, and wear your sunglasses. That’s all it takes to find healing.
Indulge in a book.
It already goes without saying that the beach is one of the perfect places to get lost in a book. If you want to be preoccupied with something else while you chill on the sand, pick up the novel you’ve been dying to read or the tabs of articles on your tablet you’ve been saving since forever. You can just lay on your towel while reading, or relax in a comfy beach chair that you brought with you.
Play a board game or card game.
Want a little more action? How about playing a board game or board game with a friend or a stranger you’ve met on the beach? Just make sure that you play a game that doesn’t involve too many moving pieces, lest you risk losing them in the sand.
Enjoy the resort’s other amenities.
Once you feel like you’ve already had your ocean fix, you can head back to your resort and enjoy its amenities. You can relax by the pool and sip your favorite drink, or you can head to the restaurant and wolf down a delicious meal. You can also go to the spa and enjoy a facial, scrub, soak, or a massage. If you want to increase your energy levels, you can go straight to the gym and do some yoga.
Spending a day at the beach doesn’t always have to be intense. You can have a perfectly relaxing time if you choose to do so. If you find yourself in Krabi and need a resort that can serve as your oasis, book a stay with us.
