5 Outdoor Activities to Make the Most of Autumn & Winter Beach Days (AKA: How to Have the Most Unexpectedly Epic Beach Adventures in the Cold)
You thought the beach was just for summer? Think again! I’ve been out here, wrapped in my oversized hoodie, toes freezing but heart warm, making the most of the cooler months at the beach. Turns out, the ocean isn’t just for sunburns and sandcastle empires. Here’s how I’ve been redefining epic beach days in autumn and winter.
1. Coastal Walks & Hiking: AKA Pretending I’m in a Movie Montage
Have you ever wandered along a deserted beach, waves crashing dramatically, pretending you’re the main character in an indie film? Because I have, and let me tell you, it’s a vibe. With my Boatshed7 tote bag filled with snacks (obviously), I’ve been trekking through coastal trails, breathing in that crisp sea air, and having deep thoughts about life (mostly about what’s for lunch). 10/10 would recommend.
2. Beach Photography: The ‘I’m an Artist Now’ Moment
There’s something about autumn light that makes you feel like a professional photographer, even if the only camera you own is your cracked iPhone. The sunsets? Golden. The moody waves? Majestic. The seagulls? Looking oddly photogenic. I’ve been setting up my shots like I work for National Geographic, all while balancing a Boatshed7 blanket around my shoulders like a stylish nomad.
3. Surfing & Paddleboarding: Cold but Committed
Look, I won’t lie. The first time I paddled out into the ocean in May, I questioned my life choices. But after the initial “WHY AM I DOING THIS?” moment, it was amazing. The water is clear, the waves are fun, and best of all—no crowds. Just me, my Boatshed7 gear, and a newfound respect for neoprene wetsuits. If you’re brave (or slightly unhinged like me), give it a go.
4. Fishing: Patience, Snacks, and Existential Reflection
Winter beach fishing is a sport of endurance and snack preparation. I set up my Boatshed7 cooler bag filled with goodies (and let’s be honest, mostly snacks), plopped into my chair, and stared at the waves like a wise old sea captain. Whether you catch fish or just deep thoughts about life, it’s an unexpectedly relaxing way to spend an afternoon.
5. The Chillest Beach Picnic Ever
Who said picnics are just for sunny days? I’ve been packing a thermos of hot tea, a basket of pastries, and my trusty water-resistant Boatshed7 beach blanket for a cozy beachside brunch. Picture this: wrapped in a blanket, sipping tea, watching the ocean do its thing. It’s like being in a luxury travel commercial, but with more crumbs.
So there you have it, folks: beaches aren’t just for sunburns and sandy flip-flops. With the right Boatshed7 gear, the off-season can be the best season. Try it, and thank me later!
