Going to the beach can make for a pretty boring day. You lay on a beach blanket until the sun bakes the first two layers of skin off of you and then you go for a dip in the water. Pretty mundane stuff. Here's a list of ways to make your next trip to the beach a little more fun.

1. Make sand sculptures of questionable body parts.

2. Wait for someone to go into the water and then throw your beach blanket over theirs. Then watch the fun as they return looking for their spot.

3. Go to the concession stand and order a broccoli Popsicle.

4. Strike up a conversation with the lifeguard and inquire what would happen if you started yelling, "Shark!"

5. Yell, "Shark!" and see if it's true.

6. Go up to people, frantically, and tell them that you buried your wife/husband in the sand and you can't find them.

7. Dress in a woolen overcoat and count the minutes before the ambulance arrives.

8. Bring a backhoe down and dig for clams.

9. Find a group of people playing volleyball and when they hit it to you, run away with it.

10. When people aren't looking, replace their suntan lotion with a squeeze bottle of French's mustard.

You see? A day at the beach doesn't have to be a day at the beach. It can be a memorable day at the beach. Enjoy your summer.
