Sunbathing on the rocks - 12 tips to keep in mind
The summer contains many fun activities, including sunbathing on the rocks somewhere in Bohuslän. But, for it to be a good day out on the rocks, the beach or by the pool, you should think about a number of things. Here are my tips for you, what to think about before you set off in the morning.
1. Swimwear.
Bring bathing suits for everyone, even if they say they shouldn't swim, because many often change their minds once you're out on the rocks. Feel free to add two changes. It is always good to be able to change between baths.
2. Floating toy
Bring something to float on. Either for the kids to play with. But, it is also a safety measure. Even for adults, it's nice to have something to "hang" around, or rest on when bathing.
3. Sunscreen
It is important to lubricate yourself, so that you do not burn yourself. Therefore, feel free to include several different sun factors on the sunscreen. 10, 25, maybe 50 in factor. Because some parts of the body are more exposed than others.
Lubricate yourself immediately, don't wait until later, then it may be too late. also remember to apply after bathing, as the cream sometimes disappears.
4. Full-coverage clothing
Although sunscreen is good, it is definitely good to have some clothing that covers the body completely. With clothes, you can both stop the sun's rays, but also give you some warmth. After a day in the sun, you can sometimes feel a bit frozen and then it's good to have a shirt or something to put on.
It is also the case that at sea, on the beach or at bathing spots the weather can change quickly. Then it's good to be able to throw on something simple.
5. Large towel
Your towel can never be too big. With it, you can protect yourself from the surface. You can fold it in several layers to make it softer or you can move it around, to dry spots after you bathe a few times.
6. Head phones
Bring headphones so you don't disturb another person, who might not like your music or audiobook you're reading that day. Think to yourself how you would react if someone else played for the entire beach and were disturbed yourself.
7. Sunglasses
You don't need to mention this tip, it might seem. But, the fact is that many people realize that they forgot their sunglasses at home. So, check that your sunglasses are included in the package.
8. Something to read
Although you might want to listen to something while you lie and sunbathe. So it's good to always have something to read too. Then you are involved in a different way and you can also involve and discuss things that you read about. Because one of the things many people do when they are sunbathing is to spend time with friends at the same time.
9. Lots of liquid.
fluid is important when you lie in the sun for a whole day. Make sure to always bring plenty of water and other drinks. Because you sweat more than you think.
10. Something to eat
"the lake sucks" says the proverb. Even if you are not out on the lake, but just along the sea edge on the rocks, hunger comes quickly. Therefore, bring something good to eat, which makes the day much more pleasant. For example, having a juicy melon with you is good. Melon cools, satiates and provides fluid.
Other fruit is also good to have with you, as it can often withstand being left unrefrigerated, but provides a lot of nutrition.
11. First dressing
Bohuslän is fantastic in many ways, but there are barnacles, shells and sharp stones in the water. The rocks are sometimes sharp and hard. This makes it easy to injure yourself a little sometimes. Then it is good to have packed a first aid kit, with the most necessary. Maybe even an ointment to apply if you burn yourself on a jellyfish sting.
12. Binoculars
By the sea can often see far away. There are open expanses and boats, people and other things often pass along the beach or out at sea. If you have binoculars with you, you can better see that nice boat, or the interesting birds. There are small, nice binoculars that easily fit in the pack.
There were a number of tips that you can consider before heading to the rocks in Bohuslän to sunbathe.
Once there, it's also good to check if there is a lifebuoy or similar. Once the accident has occurred, it is not time to start looking.
