The beach, the sea, the ocean, whatever you make call it, we here at Bournemouth (or as we students name it B\u2019mouth Town) love it. The beach here is one of those \u201ccoming of age\u201d things that, if you attend the university, you must go to.<\/p>\n

Imagine this, it\u2019s a glorious day and the last rays of sunshine are departing from the beach. You are blessed with a sunset that seems as if there are a thousand splendid suns dotted around the sky. You look over to your side and you\u2019re surrounded by friends\/family or whoever you\u2019ve decided to bring. Then, you look at your front and see the last lapse of waves ferociously beating against the lukewarm, white sand and out of the blue. . .the Baywatch cast beach bronzed, buffed and summer ready start running towards you?! Okay, the Baywatch crew was a slight over exaggeration by me, however, nothing else was. The beach here is stunning.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Being a Londoner means just \u201cnipping\u201d down the beach is a foreign thing to me. But no, I did not choose Bournemouth just because of the award winning beach *cough, cough.* However, now that I am here I might as well utilise it.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s anything that you remember from this post it should be the \u201cThings To Bring To The Beach Every Time You Come\u201d list, this being:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Sunglasses<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ray-bans, Gucci, or even Wilkinson\u2019s brand! It doesn\u2019t matter what type they are just make sure you have some. I\u2019m guessing most of you know why this is an essential item to take. These little accessories can prove perfect if you want to do a little looking around the beach at the talent Bournemouth has to offer and being discreet about it. Oh yeah and they protect your eyes from the sun as well (who knew!) So make sure you have some.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>You\u2019re Adventure Pants<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like Sainsbury\u2019s says \u201cTry something new today\u201d that\u2019s exactly the mind-set you need to come with to the beach. Wind-surfing, scuba-diving, kayaking, paragliding and the good ol\u2019 swimming there\u2019s something for everyone so make sure that you\u2019re open to new things.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Good ol\u2019 Spade \u2018n Bucket<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, we are university students and yes, we are mature young adults about to enter the real world of work, but come on, if there is anything that will release the inner child in all of us it\u2019s going to be a bucket and spade. Enjoy it as much as you can!<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>An Empty Stomach<\/strong><\/p>\n

An empty stomach you say? Yes, there\u2019s nothing worse than going to the beach and smelling the aromas of exotic dishes up for sale and knowing that you can\u2019t eat them because you\u2019re stuffed. Try, try and try is what I always say.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>A Good Book<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those who wish to lounge around and soak up the rays, nothing beats being able to just lie in the sun whilst tucking in to one of your favourite novels. Relaxation at its peak<\/p>\n

Well, there you have it, I can offer you but nothing more, enjoy your time at B\u2019mouth Town.<\/p>\n

Good Luck<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
