These Women Can Lift!
These two gals are making waves in their own right as they prove that it is possible to be freakishly strong without necessarily having the body of a bodybuilder. They carry these lads as if no effort is required, eliciting admiration from those watching, including us.
The two women bring a different story of strength to the scene, demonstrating that being strong does not always have to come with large muscles. With the rise in popularity of bodybuilding, Eugen Sandow's legacy can still be seen today. If you didn't know him, he's the Victorian bodybuilder known as the father of modern bodybuilding.
A Good Idea Turned Bad
At the beach, you usually find people basking in the sun, swimming in the waves, or building surreal sand castles. However, this woman at the beach had a much more daring plan in mind when she set out with her bucket and shovel. She was determined to make the most of her day by burying herself up to her neck!
Unfortunately, the gal hadn't anticipated the ocean's crashing waves that now threatened to envelop her. Sitting sound asleep in her sandy tomb, she soon found herself in a rather uncomfortable situation that required creative thinking and quick reflexes! Hopefully, active beach-goers rescued her before she got hurt!
Nobody Gets Left Behind
This hilarious photo perfectly captures the moment when a sly photobomber made his way into the middle of a girls' day out. His strong desire to be in the frame forced him to hijack the scene. Undeterred by the photos being taken of the girls, he boldly lifts one arm in an attempt to become part of their beautiful moment.
Photobombing is a unique way to bring attention to yourself, and the man in this photo is the epitome of a pro at it. We can only admire his commitment to getting in the frame, although his efforts might have been more successful with a bikini!
A Possibly Deadly Move
These days, some people will go to extreme lengths to get the perfect Instagram photo without considering the risks. Take, for example, this young beauty who decided to hold a potentially deadly jellyfish in her hands—not recommended!
Some of these jellylike creatures, which are not really fish, carry a poison that can spread through your body if you get stung. Symptoms of a dangerous sting can include muscle cramps, chest pains, sweating, and difficulty breathing, which can often be fatal. So the next time you’re tempted to take a risky photo, please remember the consequences. Best to leave the jellyfish alone!
Just A Pig On The Beach
You won't believe it until you see it! Pig Beach in the Bahamas is a magical, one-of-a-kind sight. Visitors will be delighted to find a dozen hogs sunbathing and playing in the bright blue sea. The beach is on the small island of Big Mayor Cay, one of the more than 365 islands in Exuma, a Bahamas district. It's a mere ten minutes away from the equally tiny Staniel Cay island
Historians have two theories behind the presence of the pigs, both of which involve accidental shipwrecks and paranoid farmers. Whoever brought them there, we are thankful for this unusual and unforgettable experience.
Ever Heard Of Human Surfing?
The sun shone at the beach, and two friends played in the water. One got an idea; he decided to use the other as a human surfboard. After a bit of debating, the other reluctantly agreed. The first one got on top of his friend, and with a mighty shove, they were off. The human surfboard looked like he was trying hard to stay stiff while his pal balanced himself.
They had a great time before the other called it quits, having enough surfing for the day. At least he learned something about the basics of surfing; no hands on the board, keep low, and never give up.
Bojack Horseman Comes To The Real World
No matter how often it appears online, the picture of this guy wearing a horse's head like he's Bojack Horseman is always amusing. With summer heat around the corner, he did not hesitate to make a statement by wearing the headgear, making himself look "hot" while protecting his face from the sun's rays.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, overexposure to the sun's UVB rays can lead to skin aging, sunburns, snow blindness, and some skin cancers. Let's not forget the horse head when packing for the beach, as it can both make a statement and offer protection from UVB rays.
Some Buff Bikini Models
It was certainly an interesting day at the beach when two muscular guys turned up wearing bikinis! Whether they lost a bet or simply embraced the incredible new wardrobe options available to men, these guys were indeed brave in embracing the occasion.
If you're curious, it's easy to find out more as a quick Google search reveals the Steven Even website, which offers a range of styles from mid to low-rise waistlines for any men interested in enjoying a different take on the classic look. There's no doubt that beachgoers will be talking about this day for a long time to come.
Raccoons Lining Up For A Snack
This incredible photo seems to indicate that, aside from humans, the beach also calls to numerous creatures, raccoons in particular. Judging by this man's activities, it appears he has attracted them with food. These nocturnal mammals usually love a diet of nuts, grasshoppers, acorns, and eggs.
This guy's gift has allowed the famously clean critters, called "Procyon lotor" in Latin, to practice their behavior of pre-cleaning their food before eating it. This is done by washing their morsels in water or simply wetting them with paws and rubbing them against their fur. Who knew these cute creatures were such fastidious diners?
Facekinis: The Newest And Hottest Trend
The two women in the photo look ready for a good time as they sport their unique facekinis! These Lycra masks were first seen in China around 2004, and they quickly gained popularity as people sought ways to protect themselves from the sun and jellyfish stings.
These colorful and hilarious masks certainly add a splash of entertainment to a typical beach day. They come in various colors and styles, leaving plenty of room for exploration and creativity. Who knew that one's beach look could be so much fun? Get ready to make a splash this summer with a fashionable facekini of your own!
Some Beachside Horror
This terrifyingly epic photo won't be found on the cover of tourist brochures anytime soon. What started as a fun idea of scaring beachgoers with a "decapitated" head quickly turned into a potential nightmare. Who knows what could happen if a shark or tsunami suddenly appeared and disrupted this bizarre moment?
Watching a movie like "Jaws" reminds us of the potential danger lurking even in the most peaceful places. For these two daring souls, the photo might seem like a memory of a well-spent day, but for the rest of us, it leaves us feeling a bit uneasy in more ways than one.
This Girl Is Going Bananas
A woman in a blue bikini was holding a bunch of bananas in the middle of the ocean, only to find that she had the most unexpected audience—a group of monkeys! It was as if she had stepped on the set of the "Planet of the Apes!" The scene was amusing, as the creatures eagerly eyed the bananas while the gal with a bandana stood in awe.
The "Planet of the Apes" film isn't based on any one real monkey species, but it drew inspiration from chimpanzees' intelligence and social behavior. This little island of mischievous simians certainly reminds us of them!
The Adorable Cap'n Woof
At the seashore, this golden retriever was spotted wearing a dashing captain's hat. This canine enjoyed himself thoroughly in the shallow waters and the soft sands. This breed of dog is known for its global popularity and loyalty.
Golden retrievers love swimming and playing in the water and have a double coat that offers waterproof protection from the elements. To top it all off, this particular pup's captain hat made him look like he was in charge of the whole beach, barking orders and overseeing all beachgoers in his makeshift shipmate outfit. It was undoubtedly one of the funniest sights the beachgoers had ever seen.
The Penguin Bride
This penguin wedding is the talk of the town! The groom looks dashing in a tuxedo, and the bride is gorgeous with her veil. The bridal party looks just as stunning. The guests, in their own stuffed tuxes and dresses, are ready to take part in the ceremony. It's a special moment fit for TV!
Who wouldn't want to watch a good penguin wedding! However, these cuties aren't actually alive. A creative mind carried stuffed penguins to the beach to join them in holy matrimony. You might be interested to know that a group of penguins in the water is called a raft; on land, they're called a waddle.
These Women Are Off To Break A World Record
The bikini parade has become a spectacle many countries are keen to join in breaking world records. Many beach towns look forward to being titleholders and sending invitations to attract the most gals clad in bikinis. The Gold Coast Bulletin held an event that saw 357 girls in swimsuits.
But then, Panama City threatened that accomplishment, with their number of participants reaching 450. However, that record was broken when Huludao City, Liaoning, China, had more than 1,000 women in swimwear take a mile-long walk. But who knows? Another nation might try to break this feat yet again in the future!
Cats And Water Are Natural Nemesis
Cats and water have long been said to be enemies. The internet has no shortage of videos confirming this sentiment. But what happens if you take your feline friend to the beach? Due to their evolutionary history, owners may find getting them near the sea challenging.
Felines have typically lived in arid areas, making them hesitant to approach and actively seek water. In addition, their strong sense of smell allows them to detect the chemicals in the water, and it's safe to say they don't find it too pleasant. All cat owners should know that getting their kitty near the ocean is an ambitious feat.
A Photobombing Woof Of A Dog!
On a sunny day at the beach, two women were taking photos enjoying the view. Suddenly, a playful dog ran in front of them, photobombing the shot! The ladies laughed as the canine ran around them, making it difficult to get a good picture. To their surprise, the dog actually posed in the shot, playfully sticking his head between them.
Dogs are known for their super intelligence; their noses can detect smells up to 100,000 times more sensitive than ours! This pup certainly used his enhanced senses to find his way to the beach and right into this picture!
What A Proposal!
Angela is undoubtedly a lucky gal when it comes to marriage proposals. Her significant other had an incredible idea to craft an everlasting memory on the sparkling beach. With meticulous artistry and precision, a heartwarming design was carefully placed on the smooth sand. From afar, there's something mesmerizingly beautiful about it.
We hope Angela answered with an enthusiastic yes to the romantic proposition. Unfortunately, this artwork of love won't stay around forever since the ever-changing weather and the rising waters will surely end its life abruptly. That makes it even more precious, so we admire Angela's partner for even doing it in the first place.
No Parting A Beach Foodie And Their Grub
As this woman discovered, it can be tough to snack while walking along the beach. Seagulls are well-equipped to locate food from afar, with specialized nerve endings that can detect them over three miles away.
Not only can these birds use this powerful sense of smell to find their meal, but there are also 50 species, the most common being the yellow-legged, little gull, and herring gull. As evidenced here with this picture, it's not unlikely that they will swoop in after your food before you know it, so it's best to stay vigilant and only dine if in a secure area.
The Waves Must've Wiped Off That Smile
Beach yoga offers a unique and beautiful experience like none other. With the calming sounds of the waves, a picturesque landscape, and the salty ocean breeze, it's easy to feel a sense of tranquility throughout the practice. This incredible photo captures such a moment, but not really the tranquility part. We can't imagine how that woman is still smiling!
Still, yoga brings to life a meaningful experience. A peaceful retreat from the busy modern world, doing it at the beach can help boost your creativity, improve your physical and mental health while making you fell connected to nature and the energies at play with practice.
Lounging At The Seashore
Hanging out at the beach is an excellent way for many to top off the day. This person certainly thought so when they hit the shore with an actual sofabed that they must have brought with them to the shore. Judging from the nearby tents, it appears that others enjoyed spending extended periods here as well.
This was a common occurrence centuries prior when the affluent Europeans sought out the beach for enjoyment and exercise. During King George IV's reign, beach relaxation's popularity skyrocketed, giving birth to what we know today as a lovely way to take in the outdoors.
Big Baby's Beach Day
On a sunny day at the beach, a playful young elephant thrilled the observers. As the spectators' curiosity grew, the excited baby elephant rolled onto his back and began wiggling around in the sand.
Baby elephants, also known as calves, are incredibly strong for their size and can move up to 6.2 miles per hour on land. Elephants are the biggest living land animals, and they typically live up to 70 years old, so this little one has a long life ahead of it. With its incredible memory, we hope this cutie remembers the day he frolicked near the sea.
This Plane Is Too Close For Comfort
The adventure of landing at the Princess Juliana International Airport puts any other passenger experience to shame. After all, this Caribbean airport offers thrilling sights and a unique opportunity to be in close proximity to the descending plane as it appears to glide through the beach.
It is a rather heart-pounding experience knowing just how near the plane is as it comes in to land. So the next time you're looking for a thrilling air travel experience, consider a trip to the main airport on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, especially if you plan to hang out at Maho Beach.
This Tortoise Is A Natural In Front Of The Camera
This lovely photo of a woman and a tortoise matching pose is adorable. How did this majestic animal end up joining in the photo-op, though? It turns out that food can be a tortoise's biggest motivator, and the morsel dangling from its mouth is a dead giveaway.
Tortoises have their own unique quirks, such as the Jacobson's organ in their throats. It's even possible to determine a tortoise's origins by the tone of its shell, a light shade means it likely is from the Sahara Desert. All in all, it's an exciting snapshot capturing the bond between humans and animals!
Nothing Like Day Drinking
At The Beach With A Friend!This seemed to be the perfect plan for these two beachgoers. Day drinking at the beach became one of the many activities they set out to enjoy throughout the summer. One particularly happy-go-lucky girl looks to have embraced this idea more quickly than her friend, who looks like it took getting pinned down and having beer poured down her throat.
The result is, however, a beautiful photo of both of them smiling throughout the day, looking like they had a great time exploring the outdoors and the nearby beach. Even if the first impression is a tad on the extreme side, these two clearly won't forget this day at the beach.
That Granddad Is The Odd One Out
Regardless of the photobomber, these gals still looked fabulous. Hitting the beach can be a great way to relax and perfect the selfie! But it's hard to take the perfect pic when dudes like that grandpa are lurking.
This unsuspecting group of gals just wanted to pose on the shores of California. Much to their dismay (and curiosity!), it was a grandpa who was totally out of place with the bikini-clad crew. The snap was so funny it went viral with more than one million views on Imgur. Surprisingly, the ladies still looked fabulous, and, of course, the image is what matters most in the end.
Perhaps He Was Hired As A Fifth Wheel
Alas, the guy in the middle seems unhappy to see his coupled-up friends making the best memories with their sweethearts. Then again, being around couples can allow single people to learn more about what they want in a partner and a relationship.
So much for the summer of love! Nonetheless, he can take solace in the fact that while he is missing out on the romantic benefits of making out with someone, at least he's not getting his heart broken any time soon. So, to all the single people out there, if you can handle these instances, perhaps being a fifth wheel can make you more content with singlehood.
A Perfectly Timed Comical Read
On a beautiful sunny day at the beach, watching the waves crash against the shore, what could be more blissful than curling up with a good book? This woman knows the joy of reading, and the book cover reflects it.
Having the sun and the sea set the backdrop offers a calming experience, an atmosphere ideal for getting lost in a terrific story. Nature offers us so many calming ways to be productive, and reading a book together with the right setting makes for a pleasantly refreshing pastime. If the author ever needed some marketing material, this photo is surely perfect!
That Floaty Seems Sketchy
The beach is a place for fun and relaxation, and this peculiar man at the beach seems to be all about that. He is having a rosy time at the beach, with an inflatable doll serving as his recreation device! Understandably, he must be trying to keep his spirit of adventure alive by utilizing an unconventional device such as a doll.
Well, why not? After all, it could even be his life partner (GASP!). Believe it or not, inflatable doll marriages are acceptable in some places, and others go ahead to live that marital life. We're not judging the man, but hopefully, no kid asked about it from their parents.
There's No Stopping These Beach Ponies
Assateague Island, located between Maryland and Virginia near the Delmarva Peninsula, is renowned for its wild ponies. Facing the Atlantic, the 37-mile-long barrier island is divided into two sections, with most of the park in Maryland. Due to their harsh environmental conditions, the ponies are smaller than their typical counterparts, but they are still a sight to behold.
Tourists often spy ponies taking shade under beach umbrellas or enjoying a snooze while over 320 other species, including shorebirds, waterbirds, and raptors, inhabit the island. Attracting visitors from afar, Assateague is a true paradise for horse lovers, so visit it if you can.
At Home By The SeaBehold!
A genius of our time. With his creative energy and artistic renderings, this magnificent person has made a couch out of nothing but sand! Who knew you did not need wood, steel, or other forms of raw material?
Taking the time to craft something out of sand has granted this person a super comfy beach set-up. Not only is it functional, but those pretty towels make it much more inviting for a relaxing nap out by the waves. A great way to take a break, bask in the sun, and relax. Let's all cross our fingers and hope the waves didn't wash it away!
Please Don't Disturb
Taking a self-care day at the beach, this seal has refined the art of relaxation. Onlookers must also be hearing this message clearly proclaimed, "Let the sleeping mammal rest." These creatures just remind us to take it easy and enjoy the time we have on this planet.
Seals are known as the marine world's clowns, regularly found longingly lazing in the sun. Usually, they would leave the water to escape predators, feed, mate, and molt, but some seals never really need to do that if they don't want to. On the opposite end, an elephant seal in New Zealand stole the show by regularly overturning parked vehicles.
You Better Run For Your Life
The people in this coastal city know the potential risk of a massive tidal wave, so they quickly devised a hilarious plan to survive. These clever folks put up a sign at the entrance of their establishment, reminding customers to stay calm in case of a tidal wave but still pay their bills before running for their lives.
Of course, the business owner had no intention of becoming washed away in a sea of debt, so it makes sense for them to think of a strategy to avoid it. Who said that entrepreneurship and a sense of humor can't go together?
What A Rude Way To Say Thanks
Dreaming of a perfect day at the beach, this beachgoer was unpleasantly surprised when his friends decided to bury him in the sand, exposing only part of his head. Chips were thrown around him, resulting in the arrival of a flock of seagulls.
With only a limited amount of space available, one particularly daring bird left behind an unpleasant "thank you" present before flying away. Luckily, the beachgoer's eyes and mouth were covered in sand! Capable of reaching impressive speeds of up to 30 miles per hour, the seaside comedy—along with its undesired souvenir—was soon out of sight.
Taking The Necessary Precaution
It's hard to believe someone could get away with stealing worn-out sandals! It's as if thieves purposely target beach-dwellers who often stash their flip-flops out in the open. Desperate to protect their own pair, this individual had to invest in a solution! Sadly, even a solid lock couldn't guarantee the sandals' safety against an ingenious thief.
Flip-flops, or slippers, as they're commonly called depending on where you are, have been around as early as 4,000 B.C.E.! Their name comes from the sound they make as they clap against one another when you walk in them. Interestingly, an annual National Flip-Flop Day was established on the third Friday of June.
A Different Way To Catch A Frisbee
The beach and Frisbees have become synonymous, and it is not uncommon to see people catch one aloft and toss it around for fun. Of course, accidents happen. Just look at this woman receiving the Frisbee right in the face.
It reminds us of how Wham-O gave us the Frisbee in 1958 as part of a collection of popular toys, including the Water Wiggle, Super Ball, and Hula-Hoop. Over the decades, they had sold over 100 million of these by 1977. And with more manufacturers now producing the disc-shaped toy, it continues to be a beach favorite up to this day.
Don't Let This Happen To You
Driving to the beach is a dream come true, but nobody wants to get close to crashing into the waves. Heed the advice of those who have tread this path before and park a safe distance from the shore. An Off-Road Vehicle is a great way to navigate the beach, but always check the ORV guidelines of the coast you plan to visit.
The expressions of three unlucky chaps as their car was stuck in the sand can stop any bad decisions you may have been entertaining. We're sure they didn't expect to call a tow truck for assistance, but they learned a hard lesson.
Is This What They Call Faceplanting?
A picture of a beachgoer faceplanting into the sand never fails to get a good chuckle out of us, and you are not a terrible person for laughing. We can only imagine what this brave soul was attempting before they became victim to the changing terrain. The lucky photographer deserves a medal!
Although beaches are often associated with relaxation and joy, it's worth remembering there could be potential hazards. Sunburns, cuts, jellyfish stings, sand flea bites, and alcohol overdose should all be taken into consideration. So why not take extra precautions and enjoy the sun, waves, and laughter instead of faceplanting?
Capturing The Best Beach Shot
This man ventured to a beach and was seen crouching down in a peculiar way, obviously in an attempt to capture the perfect shot. Those standing behind him were taken by surprise. Thankfully, someone else was able to capitalize on the moment and immortalize the man's peculiarly ambitious endeavor through pictures.
This amusing incident highlights how some compete to take attention-grabbing photographs. The photo likely made it to his social media account, where his friends and family could marvel at it. We suggest going for the "golden hour" when taking your own shots, though, because that natural lighting makes everything look magical.
Tell Us, How Many People Are In This Picture?
So you think you've counted how many people are in this photo. Take a second look, and we bet you didn't spot the pale-skinned beauty sunbathing in the background. She blends right into the beachy sand, and boy, does she need to spend a few hours under the sun.
Luckily, there's a handy way to avoid the most common beach-related injury—sunburns! Lather up the sunscreen in the crucial hours of noon to 3 p.m., and feel confident that you and the sunbathing lady are safe. With the proper precautions, a day out on the beach will be a truly relaxing one.
The Sea Welcomes Everybody
Louis Réard is credited with making the two-piece swimsuit so commonplace at beaches today, introducing his daring version to Paris in 1946 at the Piscine Molitor. This photo perfectly represents the saying that there is a place for everything, as each person is dressed for the beach setting, except for the man in the foreground, who looks like he made a last-minute stop.
A decade before Réard unveiled two-piece swimwear, women had been wearing modest versions comprising of shorts and halter tops that covered the navel. Thanks to this French automobile engineer and clothing designer, these garments no longer come with such constraints.
