Funny Beach Photos That Made These Vacations Memorable

Don’t you just love dogs? They always want to be in on the action. Wherever their human is, that is where they want to be, too. In this case, the two ladies weren’t willing to include the dog in the photo, so — justifiably — the pup decided to jump into frame.

Not all of us do well in the sun. If you have sensitive or fair skin, you know that sunblock is an absolute must. But sunblock SPF only goes up to 100. So that begs the question: what do you do if you’re as pale as THAT girl?

We don’t know about you, but we’ve never seen a sign think out loud before — at least, not until now. At first, it suggests that flying a kite is absolutely fine on this beach. Hooray! Then, it offers an abrupt 180 and says that kite flying is forbidden.

Look, is it pretty weird to bring a fold-out couch to the beach? Yes. Is it the weirdest thing you could possibly bring? …Okay, actually, yes. But that doesn’t cancel out how supremely comfortable this guy looks. He’s kicked back in his seat with his feet up, enjoying the sunshine and the sound of the rushing waves.

Of all the animals that appear on this list, this is at least one you actually expect to see on the beach. Of course, you don’t usually expect to see it kicking back in a lounge chair, sandwiched between a crowd of sunbathing tourists.

It is not uncommon to see people taking pictures at the beach. In fact, it is one of the most popular places for wedding photos or professional family photos! So it comes as no surprise when you see people take a camera out and strike a pose.

Beaches are popular places for outdoor weddings. After all, can you beat the natural beauty of the sun and surf all around you? But those weddings are usually for people. However, this one is way cuter than you could possibly imagine.

Note that this sign doesn’t say that it’s ILLEGAL to urinate in the vicinity, just that you will be caught on camera. Then it is implied that the video will be uploaded to YouTube, where millions of viewers will watch you pee and laugh at your embarrassment. Now that’s a difficult thing to explain to your mother (or your boss).

We’ll never know what the photographer was originally trying to capture with this shot. A view of the girl in the blue bikini sunbathing? The pristine ocean and skyline behind her? Ultimately it doesn’t matter, because what they ended up capturing is sheer perfection.

Is there anything more quintessentially feline than this photo? Taking a cat to the beach is an adventure because you never know exactly how they will react. On one hand, cats are known to dislike water, and you have objectively more water there than almost anywhere else. On the other hand, they might enjoy the sand.

This beachside cafe certainly has its priorities in order. Sure, it is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but we hope it isn’t in a place where tidal waves are actually a regular event. At best, it just gives beachgoers a chuckle when they read the joke.

Look, seagulls might be the vermin of the beach, but have you ever seen anything more magnificent? Every part of this is worth studying, like a modern Renaissance painting. The artists of old never imagined that we could capture such things with a camera!

Look, we have to say it: it is quite impressive that this guy managed to pull this off. He saw his opportunity from a full 50 feet away and decided to take it. Who knows how long it took them to prepare the photo, and therefore how long he waited to get into position?

If you have ever ordered living room furniture from IKEA, you have probably built your own couch. But you have nothing on this guy, who sculpted his own couch on the beach out of sand. Then, tired from his efforts, he decided to lay down and take a nap.

When you go to the beach, you expect to see certain animals. Seagulls are a given, as are fish, crabs, and other ocean life. Heck, depending on where you are, you might even see seals or other cute marine animals!

Yes, if you put an empty two-liter soda bottle in the water, it will float. But that doesn’t mean it has the buoyancy sufficient enough to support an adult! Maybe if you had hundreds of them, you could conduct a science experiment and turn it into a watery version of the movie Up.

When you go to the beach, it is not uncommon to see someone riding a horse over the sand and the surf. However, you won’t usually see horses hanging out on their own — much less a horse flopping down to take an oceanside snooze.

We have all seen people bury one another in the sand and sculpt a fake body. In fact, most of us have probably done it before. It’s one of the classic beach activities (or pranks, if you’re doing it to someone taking a nap).

Calling all introverts! If you’ve ever wanted to avoid socializing with outsiders on the beach, simply dig a pit and cover your crew with an umbrella to avoid talking to people. These guys took a lesson from a hermit crab and made a custom conversation pit. They can sit and chat, shielded from the sun, with plenty of snacks and drinks.

We don’t think we have ever wanted what an elephant had until now. Nor have we ever wanted to roll blissfully around in the sand before. But this gal makes it look so enjoyable, as if experiencing the sandy sensations for the first time.

Maybe some parents would be eager to forget that their child ever went through an experience like this. But we’d hazard a guess that most of us would have to hide our laughter, even while comforting the kid. Once you establish that they’re all right and there are no serious injuries, all bets are off.

The beach is a great place to take a nap, and some people even arrive with all the gear they need to kick back and snooze in the sand. Most of us keep it simple and just lie back on our towels. But this guy has a somewhat different idea that is, frankly, a bit intriguing.

What would you do if you were lounging on the beach and two cows suddenly walked up and joined you? Well, you probably wouldn’t say a thing, unless you want to fight off a couple of huge animals. And, of course, you would probably pull out your camera to snag a photo.

Don’t you hate it when you’re just trying to enjoy a day at the beach with your family and suddenly you get trapped in a bucket by a giant? Okay, we all know how this old photo trick works — a simple trick of perspective.

Bringing your dog to the beach is always a great time. You get to enjoy the time with your favorite furry friend, they get to run around and enjoy the sights and smells, and hopefully, you get a couple of good photos of the day.

Going to the beach is fun, but you do have to keep an eye on your personal belongings to make sure they don’t get stolen. That being said, the rule usually applies to things like wallets, car keys, and phones.

Getting to interact with a tortoise at the beach can be an amazing experience. These gentle creatures can weigh more than 500 pounds and live for hundreds of years. If you ever have the chance to “meet” one, don’t pass up the opportunity.

The beach is a place where people from all places and walks of life come together to enjoy the sun and the waves. Needless to say, you might occasionally see something that makes you scratch your head.

There are very few moments in life that present themselves as perfect opportunities, but this one is a prime example. The photographer noticed an amazing coincidence and managed to whip their camera out just in time.

“Contemplative” isn’t a word that most of us associate with swine, but maybe we should. We want to know two things about this photo. Firstly, how did the pig get to the beach? Did its owners drive it here? Did it escape from a nearby farm?

You have probably asked a stranger at the beach to snap a photo of you before. Being on vacation means that you want to memorialize it and look back on your fond memories of enjoying the ocean with friends and family.

Look, we all know that the third rule of the beach is to wear sunscreen. The second rule is to be safe in the water. But the first rule of the beach is never to linger while eating food. And for the love of all that is good, don’t hold it out for a photo. Seagulls will eat anything, and they are always waiting to attack.

What would you do if you saw this sight over the beach? It is what the people visiting St. Martin see multiple times a day. Princess Juliana International Airport is a short distance from the beach, so you will spot planes making a landing — a bit of an unnerving experience for first-time visitors.

Ah, there’s nothing like tossing a football around on a cool day at the beach. It’s a good thing that these people brought their camera along to make sure they memorialized a great catch. Of course, they didn’t end up capturing what they thought they would.

Imagine that you go to the beach, settle down in the sand, and get ready for a day of relaxing in the sun. Then you spot this girl marching by with her beloved housepet on one shoulder.
