A trip to the beach is awesome, even if you bring a towel and some water to keep you hydrated. However, it doesn’t hurt to know a trick or two on how to turn it into an even better experience, especially if it doesn’t require much effort.
Travel blogger Lena Boston recently shared a video on her Instagram in which she showcased several tips that can make anyone’s beach trip more comfortable.
Her first tip is to tuck the ends of your towel into the sand and then fold them to create small pouches. This will prevent the wind from displacing your towel when you take a dip in the ocean.
Next, she takes a bandage and uses it to cover the bottom of her phone. By doing this, she prevents small particles of sand and moisture from getting into the charging port or small speakerphone holes.
Boston also showcased how you can easily remove the sand that sticks to your skin. She uses a duster to brush off sand and fills a plastic bag with water to wash her feet before putting on her slippers.
There was also one tip that Boston swears by, but internet users are divided about. She took her valuables and placed them into a Ziploc bag before burying it in the sand and covering the place with a towel.
Our take is to proceed carefully with this one. While burying your valuables will make it harder for them to be stolen, you also might easily forget where you placed them, especially if your towel gets moved by accident.
