3 Fun Ways To Make Your Beach Days Better


I wouldn’t exactly consider myself a beach gal, but if it means I’m on vacation…you can find me at the beach. But I do need to find ways to keep myself occupied, oh and also make sure I look good. So I guess it starts with cute swimsuits for summer.

I know there are some people who are absolutely obsessed with the beach. And then there’s me. I don’t know, I think I’d rather lay by a pool because I don’t particularly enjoy the insane wind and sand everywhere. Since I’m pretty go with the flow, I do go to the beach.  So I need to mentally prepare myself to go and keep myself entertained.

Here are a few ways I make my beach days a bit more fun:

Play a game and be active Spikeball is one of my favorite beach/summer games. Matt and his friends are so to blame for this. I first learned about the game when I went to Matt’s shore house when we first started dating…and quickly learned how much they love it. It’s a fun game that you can play with teams. If you’re not into the games, get on a boogie board or skim board. Or ya know, good ol’ fashion swimming in the ocean always works.

Head to a beach bar If I’m really not feeling the beach, but still want to optimize my time on vacation, I’ll head to a beach bar. There’s something way more fun about having a cocktail at noon when you’re on vacation, right?

Make sure I’m in a cute swimsuit When it comes to swimwear, I typically am boring. But this is where Coco Rave Swim comes in. Coco Rave is a trend conscious bra-sized swimwear collection. I wanted to mention this for my readers who have bigger girls than me;) But if you’re anywhere from an A to a DD, Coco Rave has got you covered with the most stylish suits each season! My favorite part of their swimsuits is the mixing and matching capabilities. I could have paired this top with ruffled bottoms or these high-waisted pink bottoms so easily! Oh, and this is the first time I’ve worn a one piece since I was probably 4 years old. I love the colorblock pattern and how the silhouette is cut!

The options are seriously endless.


From vibrant one piece swimsuits, cute swim dresses, sexy tops, cheeky bottoms, and feminine swim skirts, Coco Rave is the place to shop for cute swimsuits for summer. PS: You can get 20% off your purchase using code Dana20 at checkout! Trust me, you will NOT regret it!
