There’s almost nothing better than heading out to the beach for a day of sun, fun and splashing in the surf. There are some times however that the beach experience turns a little unexpected, and in those unpredictable moments, we’re really glad someone had a camera handy. Check these out!
How’s My Hair?
While the sea water does wonders for some girls’ hair, for others it does the exact opposite. What do you think the result was for this pooch? I’d say the result is rather tasteful! But hey, that’s just my own opinion.

The Door Was Sealed Shut
I can think of at least 45 ideas as to why I didn’t visit my ex when I flew into town, but I could never have thought up this excuse all by myself. This little fella sure knows how to make a good doorman. No intruders shall pass this sealed door.
The Door Was Sealed Shut
Paws For Effect
This has got to be one of the best photobombs of all time. These two young ladies were having themselves an over-elaborate photoshoot on the beach, and their pooch was being completely left out of it all. Well well, Minnie was having none of it… and then she was having all of it.

No Toes For Fritos
When going to the beach there are a couple of things you need to keep in mind. Take snacks for the family, don’t bring snacks for the seagulls, bring bait for the fish. Ah yes, and don’t forget to bring Fritos for the raccoons… yep, apparently they’re really into those corn snacks.

Purrfect Timing
Whoever managed to capture this picture effectively captured what we all knew about cats and water. However this could also be what I look like when I put my toes in the bath the moment I realize I hadn’t turned on the hot water.

Penguindding
My my, will you look at those tuxedos! While penguins always wear tuxedos to all events, it’s at weddings that they dress in their woolly sweaters. With all in attendance, the waddling couple was eventually ready to have their beautiful penguindding!

The Real Snap-Chat
These days everybody is so involved in showing the rest of the world what a good time they’re having. Whether it’s on Instagram, Facebook or on Snapchat. This bird managed to show this woman’s followers exactly what Snapping is all about. Great shot by the way!

How Many People In The Picture?
At first glance, how many people do you see in the picture? Yeah, you can even include the person standing in the background and the one all the way on the right. But what about Sandy laying in the back? Yeah, most people didn’t see her. No wonder she’s trying to catch a tan.

What A Landing!
When the brochure said that the airline offered door-to-door service, nobody imagined that the promise included a beach drop-off too. A small piece of advice, don’t sit too close to the fence of the airport… unless you’re looking for a free flight to outer space.
What A Landing!
Which Way To The Beach?
All roads lead to Rome, but you know what? Not all roads lead to the beach. Boats are meant for water and trucks are meant for roads. Something went terribly wrong here, because neither the boat nor the car is in the right place.

What A Tease
Just when you thought there was something fun to do, this happened. Someone really had a lot of time in the city’s sign department, because this might be the best single-signed conversation we’ve ever seen. Stay tuned for the next batch of dialogue.
What A Tease
What’s Going On Here?
Listen, I have absolutely no idea what is happening in this picture. The first thing that catches your attention is probably the girl face-planting into the beach. But then if you take another glance, you might find yourself wondering how the girl in the forefront is levitating. Yeah, I’m lost too.

Best Photo Ever
This couple came up with a genius idea to get a vacation photo at the beach like no other. boy, did these two win! Their child might not know what’s going on, but he will surely appreciate this photograph one day in the future. We all do now.

Flip Flop Lock
In a world full of thieves, nothing is safe… no, not even your flip flops. So of course someone has come up with a solution for this problem – voila! It might not be practical to take a lock and chain with you to the beach when you have nothing else… but we can still appreciate their ingenuity.

Not The Mattress We Meant
It had been a raging hype to take a mattress to the beach, but this wasn’t exactly what people were talking about. Putting criticism aside, this actually looks like a great idea, and it seems pretty comfy too. but how on earth would you be able to get that onto the beach? Ask this dude.

When You’re Really Good
There are people in the world who settle for standard, and then there are people like this. We give this guy credit for creating a beautiful proposal for his girlfriend, and we also praise him for thinking it through and not doing it during high tide.

After A Long Day Of Bacon In The Sun
Who said that the life of a pig is dull? Nobody, I know, but I’m trying to make a point. After a long day spent baking in the sun, the pig was eventually blessed with a magical sundown to conclude a lovely day spent at the beach.

Never Order Rare At The Beach
Whenever I go to the beach, I like to take fruit and sandwiches with me; I rarely order food from the restaurants there. This is just one of the many reasons I don’t like to. The steaks you order are always too rare… I mean, look at this. Come on!
Never Order Rare At The Beach
Matching Turtlenecks… Almost
This picture is pretty epic, but it would have been exponentially more epic had the woman worn a turtleneck. Either way, we have to give credit to this pair for making such a beautiful couple. The picture might look like it was an accident, but I’m sure it was on tortoise.

Best Book Cover
Oh, this is just too good to miss. Someone was bound to snap this photograph, and I’m sure there are more like this one. This is why people take cameras wherever they go – moments like this shouldn’t be missed. This time the moment was captured.

The Beach Life
Let’s be honest, this could easily be any of us when we eventually get to the beach for the first time after a long winter. This elephant is too cute not to share in this article. Do you think he brought his swimming trunks?

I Swear, I Didn’t Have A Single Drink!
He had told his wife that he was going to be at a business conference all day, and then he came home like this. That was the first of two lies that were uncovered that day. The second lie was that he promised he hadn’t had a single drink… but that might be exactly what he had.
I Swear, I Didn’t Have A Single Drink!
It’s A Hard Knock Life
The best way to spend an afternoon after kindergarten is with a beer and a babe on the beach. Kindergarten is sometimes overwhelming – crying kids, nagging carers, crappy sandwiches and nap time… life is too short to be spent indoors.

Nothing Like Summer Time
We all have that one ginger friend who can’t manage more than three minutes in the sun. But there’s nothing like a day at the beach, right? I’m sure his friends were genuinely concerned about his exposed ankles…
Nothing Like Summer Time
Rex Was Very Protective
Andy probably shouldn’t have asked to be buried in the sand, but that’s a matter to be discussed later. Rex on the other hand kind of liked the idea, just as long as nobody disturbed her, he was happy. Let’s just hope Rex doesn’t need to go…

Hard Earned Vacation
Toddlering is a full-time position, and by golly, it’s not an easy job to uphold. When year-end comes, there’s only one place little Jorge likes to go, and that’s the beach. No meetings, no phone calls, just the soothing sounds of crashing waves and tinkering cocktail glasses.

Checking On His Off Shore Accounts
Sometimes you go to work and sometimes you take time off. Either way you’ve got make a compromise sometimes, and people, this is what that compromise looks like. We do have to give him credit for being able to be at the beach at sunset!

I ‘Aint Seen Nun Wrong Here
What on earth is this woman of God doing surfing at the beach? Nun of your business! No but really, she looks like one helluva surfer girl, wouldn’t you say? She’s not just impressive on the board, look at her balancing that on her head. You go girl!
I ‘Aint Seen Nun Wrong Here
Yeeeahh, Noooo
This promotion for working in exotic locations really didn’t turn out the way that they had planned. The sun, the surf, the sand… the laptop. It was a recipe for disaster, but she still went for it and managed to maintain her killer smile.
Yeeeahh, Noooo
Hike At The Beach
The beach is one of the best places for a fun game of football. But this guy looks like he’s been playing a little game called “headball”. He’s ready to hike, but I think the cameraman is going to make sure he’s nowhere to be found when that “ball” heads his way.

Studying The Locals
Young Morgan and Young Vincent had found themselves in unknown territory, and so they decided it would be best to investigate the local population. After much research and studying they drew up their conclusions. Unfortunately for us they weren’t willing to share their findings.

Photographer Level: Master
These two deserve an award. Not only is this an awesomely original photograph, it’s also a fun twist on a sunless day at the beach. Just as a disclaimer, that shovel is not actually that big… or that girl is not actually that small.

Oh, Crabs
Yeah, it had become quite a problem for the local sheriff. While teens snuck away to have a couple of smokes behind the lifeguard’s house, the crabs were keeping a watchful eye. When night fell, they crept out and smoked the rest of those bad boys.
Oh, Crabs
When You See It
Looks like an innocent picture of some friends at the beach, right? Now take a closer look at the person floating in the background. Do you see what he’s doing back there? Yup, exactly what the group of girls are doing. You have to appreciate his sense of humor.

Christmas In The Caribbean
When there’s not a single snowflake in sight and it’s Christmas time, you have to be a little creative. Sandcastles are so last year, as snowmen are. The latest trend is now sandmen! What do you think we’ll have next? Snowcastles? Did someone mention Frozen?

Maybe Not Their Color
Who said men can’t wear bikinis too? Well actually a lot of people have said that, but it doesn’t seem like these two guys got the memo. So what do you think? Did ythey do a good job? Do these colors work in their favor? Should he have ditched the sunglasses?
Maybe Not Their Color
Priorities, People
If there was ever an award for cocky signs, perhaps this would be the winner. The first rule is smart and acceptable. The second seems like a little much in the case of a tsunami. And by the time you get to the third rule, I sure as hell hope you’ll be ready to do just that!

Not A Damn To Give
Sally had been told lots of things in her 8 years as a dog. “Sit”, “roll over”, “fetch”… and she enjoyed doing all of those things, but it was at signs that she drew the line. Some might say that she did spitefully, I think she did it because she can’t read.
