33 Times People Witnessed Something Interesting At The Beach And Just Had To Share It
If you've ever heard the phrase, "Life's a beach," you probably wondered what does it actually mean. A seagull swooping in and stealing your wallet? Or maybe that beached whales are some profound allegory for our society? Well, probably neither but it's fun to entertain the possibilities.
We here at Bored Panda have compiled a series of the most unexpected things that took place at the seashore and it turns out, these pictures have the answers to the questions above. So if you thought that nothing ever really happens on a beach day, let us prove you wrong. It's not just lazing around and baking in the sunshine. The same water you're washing your troubles away can also spit out a giant squid right in your face. The sad part, though, is that it's not all that exciting. Or romantic. There's always a balding, middle-aged man to photobomb your best shots. But hey, at least you’ll never get bored with all these funny people around you.

Her Name Is Argiro And She Likes To Dry Up On This Chair That The Locals Saved For Her
This must be in Greece. Argyro means 'silvery' in Greek, it's a relatively common name. So sweet. And she is kinda silvery too :)
What's cool about visiting the beach -- even the same one -- is that they are ever-changing environments so it'll be a little different every time you come back. Within one human lifetime, a shoreline can grow or shrink by tens of feet due to the action of waves, wind, storms, floods and other weather conditions.
There! Instead Of A Stupid Castle
Waves can erode beaches and carry material to other areas, widening shorelines. They can also erode the bases of cliffs until they collapse, changing the coastline overnight. The wind blows sand beyond the waves, forming sand dunes which are eventually colonized by plants. The vegetation slows the wind, preventing it from blowing the sand away and the dunes continue growing larger and larger. There's always something going on.

And if this leaves you craving for a new adventure, try to look for a beach that has a Blue Flag status. Blue Flag criteria include quality, safety, environmental education and information standards, the provision of services and general environmental management criteria. This means that they are safe, the water quality is great, and there are plenty of things to experience. They are in most countries around the world with a total of 4,154 Blue Flags waving across the globe.

I Was Stood Taking A Photo Of My Girlfriend In The Sea, Then Realised So Was Every Other Instagram Boyfriend
I really don't understand these kinds of people. They just can't exist in the moment and assume that everyone wants to know what they are doing and where they are.
I am also flabbergasted! I honestly don't understand. Why??? Why are selfies and poses so important? Who cares people!
Load More Replies...That beach is now closed, due to all the people who came and trashed it, being the one in the Leo DeCaprio movie "The Beach"
Ugh, I read an article about that and it just makes me so sad. Too many people were coming in droves after seeing photographs from Instagram influencers. Hopefully, they can rehabilitate this beautiful area.
Load More Replies...This was quite how it looked last year when my boyfriend and I went on a holiday. The only picture we had, except for the nature ones, was us, smiling at the camera on our first night, having dinner. Cause we wanted to print it out and frame it as it was also our anniversary. People nowadays are trying so hard to prove that they're having a better time/life than all the others. It's pathetic, really.
Where did all the narcissism come from? It seems like suddenly everyone became obsessed with taking pictures of themselves for attention from strangers on the internet. Why?
It was always there but is used to be socially acceptable only for the likes of kings and queens, and hardly even for them. Sad, really. A lot of people live lives that could have been interesting had they not been so self-centered.
Load More Replies...LOL...it's almost as if every guy on this beach just wanted to take a picture of their girlfriend.
We've seen this at Hong island as well. My daughter and I were lucky to arrive half an hour before the crowd. It's not the point of taking pictures, everyone does. But these couples often were only busy with the photos, taking half an hour (in front of your nose, "blocking your view") and many times - really! - it ended up in girlfriends/women being angry because the photo wasn't good enough! Really, this was the first time in my life I hated social media :P
I hope big waves come up and run all the cameras. People just need to step away from the social media on beaches.....Enjoy what you are looking at....Not everything has to be shared with everybody, and probably nobody else cares
Looks fake. Thai beaches normally have 400x the amout of tourists and boats that show in this picture
I've seen this..it's strange. We were chillin on a beautiful beach in Mexico, then the cruise bus arrived..they came in, took pics for about an hour and then left. It was surreal. If you only have an hour, sit, look, swim grab a beer..bleh..my generation is failing..failing!
obnoxious, ridiculous. Throw away your phones and just enjoy the beach.
I mean yeah it’s vain to take these but aren’t all pictures in some way. Also unless they’re doing that all day or travel there take the picture then leave I’m sure they get to enjoy it. Making your life look perfect on Facebook or insta isn’t going to make it perfect but I think in some ways it’s like life achievements unlocked
