7 Ways to Relax at the Beach

Enjoying a day at the beach and relaxing go together like sunshine and tan lines. It is almost impossible to have one without the other. If serenity is calling your name, the beautiful beaches of the Emerald Coast are the perfect place to spend your vacation. Imagine the sound of the waves crashing, the smell of the salt air, and the sun on your face. Talk about the perfect storm for some true R&R.

And if you needed more convincing, keep in mind that National Relaxation Day is right around the corner. Why not do yourself a favor and fully commit! Here are 7 ways to relax at the beach, just in case you decide to turn “Relaxation Day” into “Relaxation Week.”

 

1. Sleep In

 

Sleeping in is one of the top things to do on the Emerald Coast on a rainy day. After all, you paid for a beachfront condo with views of the water. Open a window and let the sound of the waves lull you into a deep sleep.

2. Go Fishing

 

Fishing is a great way to relax at the beach and is a fun activity for all ages. You can go on a fishing charter or rent your own boat and take it out into the Gulf of Mexico. Fish from land at any of the beaches along the Emerald Coast. Visit myfwc.com for more information on fishing.

3. Go to a Movie

 

There’s something special about cuddling up in your favorite sweater in a chilly movie theater and catching the latest flick. Take advantage, and take advantage often. Parents of young children will understand this. Once you have “Thing One” and “Thing Two” running around, your spontaneous movie nights are few and far between. And who knows, you may be able to catch a flick that was filmed in Destin!

4. Get a Massage

 

Getting a massage is one of the best ways to relax at the beach. Jen Townsend of Mobile Massage Therapy in Destin will come to your home or condo and help you de-stress and unwind. She sets up in a quiet room or outside, so the sounds and smells of the Gulf of Mexico can help send you into a deep state of relaxation.
