A beach is a landform alongside a body of water which consists of loose particles. The particles composing a beach are typically sand, with occasional rocks of all sizes. A beach is a narrow, gently sloping strip of land that lies along the edge of an ocean, lake, or river. Most beach materials are the products of weathering and erosion.

Everyone needs time away from the stress and drama of everyday life, and a trip to the beach is usually the perfect choice for a day of relaxing and clearing your mind. Building sandcastles makes for great memories, reading a book is great way to lay back. Better yet, just lay back and take a nap in the sun.

Looking for a little more activity? Bury a friend’s body in the sand and start making funny shapes, like a mermaid on top of them, and take funny pictures of them! Collect seashells. If you're heading to the beach with kids, get some cake molds, and play sand bakery!

Sandals are a vital part of any beach trip. They let your feet breathe without having to worry about treading on something sharp, they are easily washed off if they end up covered in sand, and they are designed for ease of popping them on and off.
