National Beach Day
Everyone enjoys a day at the beach, don’t they? Celebrate your love for the coast on August 30, National Beach Day. This holiday, which began in 2014, aims to raise awareness about the beauty of beaches while also emphasizing the importance of keeping them clean and safe. Here’s how you can contribute: After enjoying the beach, make sure to leave no trace behind. Avoid trapping or entangling animals in trash, both on land and in the water. So, go swimming, diving, surfing, and enjoy the aquatic playgrounds the world has to offer. Just remember to do your part in protecting one of our most precious natural resources — our beaches.
About the holiday
Brief History
Beaches are beloved places for outdoor activities such as swimming, sports, building sandcastles, picnics, playing frisbee and enjoying the feel of sand between the toes. However, like many other precious areas of the earth, beaches are degrading due to human interference and global climate change. National Beach Day, founded in 2014 by animal activist and lifestyle expert Colleen Paige, encourages people to enjoy beaches and protect them.
How to celebrate
There are many ways to celebrate National Beach Day. One of the most popular ways is to visit the beach and enjoy the sun, sand, and surf. Many people also participate in beach clean-ups, which are organized by local groups and organizations. These clean-ups help to keep our beaches clean and healthy for future generations.
