I don't know about your friends, but sometimes, my friends don't want to go to the beach. As an ocean aficionado, I find this offensive. If your friends or family don't want to go to the beach but you do, here are some fool-proof ways to get them there.
1. "We can take some bomb pictures!"
Nothing gets people to go somewhere quite like promising them a photo op. Even if you hate taking pictures, you can bet half of your friend group will join you on your adventure with this line.
2. "Think of the dogs we'll see there!"
Seeing dogs is one of the most heart-warming things. Doesn't matter where you are.
3. "It's too beautiful of a day to spend inside!"
Why waste a 70-degree day inside on your phone when you could be outside enjoying the beautiful weather? There's no excuse not to get off your butt and at least stick your head outside.
4. "It'll get you away from___."
Whatever problem you may have, be it with a boy, family, or other friends, the beach automatically solves everything. When you're chilling on the sand, you can think about nothing and let your problems fade away for a bit. BONUS: A beach trip is also great for avoiding responsibility.
5. "It's free!"
Who doesn't want to do something that's free? Everyone's always looking for a fun and free thing to do during the summer and a beach trip is perfect!
6. And if all else fails, just drag them to the beach.
They'll be thankful you did.
