Hey everyone, Mrs M (Louisa) here. Talking to you guys who love a moment or two at the beach but who struggle in the BLAZING HEAT.
Just sharing our delight biggest family realisation, that we actually like being on a beach. Prior to 2022, we really only went on beaches outside of the summer season, and mainly only for dog walking, but by getting a few early evening swims into our weekly schedule, we now LOVE the beach.
I have redhair and freckled skin. Carl is half Irish/half Asian (so he can tan) and our kids can tan, but really slowly. We have tended in the past to avoid the bright sunlight and to go out at times when we haven't needed to cover up.
Our trips to the beach this summer at around 5pm have been perfect for us, as we can avoid toxic chemicals from sunscreens, get some much needed vitamin d, and play in the fresh air, slowly setting sun, splash around and it's all just so easy.
I don't know why we haven't really done this before. I think because the culture we both grew up in, was that a 'beach day' was a whole day out, and it was hot. Now we're living near this very safe and gentle resort, any day can be a beach day. In fact, we've got over a handful of safe and quiet beaches within a short drive from us to choose from, here in this part of the Silver Coast.
Please do share your family tips and experiences and we can also give them a go!!!
Beijinhos* from Portugal!!!! Tchau, Tchau!! x
