5 Fun Beach Camping Activities for the Whole Family

5 Fun Beach Camping Activities for the Whole Family

Fun Beach Camping Activities for the Whole Family

If you love making new memories with your family, then there's no better way to spend your holiday than camping at the beach. It's the perfect way to combine two incredible outdoor activities while saving money and creating memories that will last a lifetime. There are so many fun and exciting things to do during your camping trip that it is sure to become a family tradition everyone looks forward to year after year!

Why choose beach camping?

Everyone loves a beach holiday, but let's face it, they're expensive! The average vacation costs 300 AUD per day, more if you choose to include organised activities. There's no need to waste your hard-earned money on overpriced hotels; instead, camping offers maximum fun for minimal expenditure!

Family Beach Camping Activities

Volleyball

Volleyball is a classic beach sport, providing hours of fun for all ages. All you need is a ball and a net, and you're good to go, making it an economical choice as well. You can split into teams and see who has the best skills or forget about keeping score and play for fun. It's also an ideal way for the whole family to exercise without getting bored since jumping and running around in the sand is a bona fide workout! Since you're camping, you can all go for a dip in the water once you're done, so you don't have to worry about sweating or overheating. It's easy to see why so many people adore this exciting sport.

Stand up paddle boarding

Stand-up paddle boarding is an ideal family activity that is safe and easy for all ages. Since the paddle boards offer a sturdy, wide base, balancing is easy even for young children, or you can always buddy up if that is more comfortable. Paddle boards offer a unique way to explore your surroundings, allowing you to get up close to nature while breathing in the fresh air and feeling the warm sunshine on your skin. You can even bring the family dog along since paddle boards have ample room for Fido to enjoy his beach camping vacation as well!

Beachcombing

Beachcombing is an excellent way to make fun discoveries of items swept ashore from the vast ocean depths. Kids and adults alike will enjoy scouring the beach for hidden gems, locating beautiful shells and finding new aquatic creatures. You can add a competitive or educational twist by making a scavenger hunt, making a list of common and rare items and seeing who can find the most. Whether you stay right along the ocean or make your way deeper onto the beach, there are sure to be new and incredible things the entire family will enjoy finding.

Bonfire and s’mores

What's more iconic than a beach bonfire? And of course, smores are a must! There's nothing quite like soaking up the warmth of the flames while sitting beneath the starlit sky, while the cool breeze lightly brushes your skin. If you're not a s’mores person, you can stick to roasting marshmallows or snags, it's not about what you cook but the experience and memories you create. Don't forget to tell plenty of stories, whether they’re scary ghost encounters or funny anecdotes; sitting by the fire is the perfect time to reconnect and bond as a family.

Note: Not every beach allows bonfires, so check your local regulations to ensure they're permitted. It's also crucial to undergo safe fire-building practices, including keeping fresh water on hand, never standing too close to the flame, closely monitoring all children, and never using an accelerant like gas when lighting.

Swimming

Any beach camping holiday wouldn't be complete without loads of swimming! There's nothing better than jumping in the cool ocean water and splashing around in the waves; it's a timeless activity that generations have enjoyed. Why not bring a frisbee, water float, or surfboard to make the most out of your time in the water? Swimming is the perfect family activity to ensure everyone has a blast on your beach camping adventure.
