The ideal option for reading is a tablet or e-reader. The laptop is too bulky and inconvenient for the beach. In addition, there are many crevices in it, into which sand can easily fall or water can seep through.
Electronic books are preferable for the beach; their screen does not glare and they do not have a backlight.
If you nevertheless took a tablet with you, then you will have problems reading with dark glasses. If you are wearing polarized glasses (these are the best ones to protect from the sun), then the screen of your device will seem too dark or completely black to you. Rotate the tablet 90 degrees, you will be surprised, but it will help! Let's say the screen seems black to you in portrait mode, turn it to landscape mode, and vice versa: if it seems black in landscape mode, then turn it vertically. The tablet rotation option depends on the type of glasses you have.
Accessories to take with you
Unfortunately, there's almost nothing you can do about screen glare. You can, of course, stick on an anti-reflective film, but it won’t help the situation much. The screen will look less like a mirror, but it will still be difficult to see anything on it in direct sunlight.
It is important to protect the gadget from water and sand. Buying a waterproof pouch will solve this problem, but there is a cheaper option: ziplock grocery bags. They perfectly protect the device from water, and you can use the touchscreen directly through the bag.
How to save your device if water, sand or dirt gets on it
No matter what precautions you take, your gadget can sometimes fall into the sand or, even worse, into the water. Fortunately, if necessary measures are taken quickly, it can be saved.
1. The device fell into the sand
You dropped the device in the sand and now all the micro-cracks and holes are full of grains of sand. In this case, a can of compressed air will help (they are sold in computer stores and are designed specifically for cleaning equipment). Using a spray can you can easily get rid of sand in the device.
2. The device fell into the water
A device that has fallen into water must be placed in a container with dry rice as quickly as possible. You should also remove the battery, if possible, and not put it back in for as long as possible, preferably several days. In this case, there is a chance that you will save the life of your gadget.
Sometimes it's better to just not take gadgets with you
When going to the beach, remember that there are still paper books. They are convenient to read in the sun in any position, and even if water gets on the book, it can still be read, and there is no need to urgently run for rice.
Instead of a smartphone, you can take an old phone. You will rest more calmly. In addition, a paper book and a regular telephone are unlikely to attract the attention of beach thieves.

Just leave your water bottle in the shade. Joke! But many people do just that, and the water still quickly becomes warm. There is an easy way to keep it cold, and even icy for the first hour! Pour enough water into a plastic bottle so that you can put it in the freezer without twisting it. When the water turns into ice, take out the container and add cool water (juice) into it. And go to the beach!

Why not give an old thing a second life? We take a large plain T-shirt, fold it in half and cut off the neck and sleeves (the top of the former T-shirt is now the handles of the bag), having previously marked the cut line with a marker. Then we put plastic film inside so as not to stain the back, take bleach and a brush. We dip it and draw what we like. When the design dries, it will become several shades lighter than the fabric. Next, cut off the hemmed part from the bottom, step back about ten centimeters from the edge of the T-shirt and draw a line. This will be the border to which the fringe will then be cut (parallel cuts at intervals of one and a half to two centimeters). We tie the segments together into two knots. Pull the fringe and release it sharply, and the fabric will curl beautifully. Boho style beach bag without a single seam is ready!
And finally, some ideas for fun photos on the beach.

Any trip, as practice shows, is not only a fireworks display of positive emotions, but also the risk of being left, at a minimum, without a wallet. Of course, in the middle of nowhere, robbers are unlikely to attack you, but professional pickpockets and swindlers have not gone away.

- In the inner pockets of the jacket.
- Or even into the pockets of underwear made specifically for such purposes.
- There are also belts with special recesses in which you can hide cash, but, alas, removing the belt from a sleeping person (or in a crowd) is not difficult.

When traveling around the city, it would seem that there is nothing dangerous - it’s not on the beach, there is no need to leave things on the sand, and everything “acquired by back-breaking labor” is always with you.
But no. Modern thieves also keep up with the times, and the more hiding places tourists come up with, the faster and more resourceful the criminals become, adapting to new trends, like a rapidly mutating virus to medicines.
Therefore, even while riding the bus, walking along the embankment or diving along the market rows in search of souvenirs, Be carefull!
First of all, a few recommendations on the topic “where and how not to hide your money” when traveling around the city:
- Make sure your bag or backpack is closed. Do not hang it over your shoulder - only in front of you, within sight.
- Do not hide your wallet in the back pocket of your pants or in the outer pocket of your jacket. It's easiest to get him out from there.
- Don't put money in the outer pockets of your bag either. In a crowd, money is pulled out of such a pocket “with a slight movement of the hand.”
Where should I hide it?
As a last resort, if you couldn’t find such shoes, You can make a secret pocket yourself — in a bra (in push-up pockets), inside shorts, under a hat, etc.
Use your imagination - the Russian people have always been famous for their ingenuity!
