Beach
#OLDMATE isn't here to reinvent the wheel: Sometimes the best things in life are the simplest, like a trip to the beach or seaside. With more than n 85% of Australians living within 50kms of the coast, this is a great option!
Check the forecast and pick a day when the weather is nice: Sunny but not too hot. A nice breeze, but not too windy.
The beach is also an excellent excuse for icecream, too. #justsayin
Important
Remember to pack hats, sunscreen and anything else you might need to protect yourself from the sun. We don't any Old Mates getting sunburnt!
Inspiration
· This activity can easily be modified if you're not near the coast, or if your Old Mate would prefer calmer water. Lakes, creeks, streams, ponds, etc. are all good alternatives.
· This is a great activity to combine with a number of other #OLDMATE activities including Picnic, Photography, or Old Mate Double Date.
