Wizarding Holidaymakers: How Wizards Do Beach Days
Summertime and beach days go hand in hand for anyone who lives near any large body of water, so it only makes sense that folks in the wizarding world would want to get in on that action too! In the spirit of summer, let's take a look at how wizards might spend a day at the beach.

Catching Some Rays
Not everyone lives near a warm, sunny beach. Even in California, a trip to the beach means bringing a sweater along, but some Felix Felicis might do the trick to guarantee a sunny day at the beach, where any witch or wizard might be able to work on their tan. Of course, a responsible witch or wizard would always be sure to use some kind of protection from the sun! If their sunblock of choice did fail, though, there's likely some cool potion containing aloe vera that might fix them up in no time.
Secluded Beaches
The last thing wizards need on their holiday is to break the International Statute of Secrecy by performing magic in front of Muggles. Secluded beaches and Muggle-Repelling Charms would make beach trips the perfect, peaceful getaway.
Stylish Beach Attire
We all saw how Archie dressed for the Quidditch World Cup. Let's not have any pretenses that the magical community would wear anything more modern than this for a day at the beach.
Niffler Treasure Hunts
Who needs a metal detector when you have a Niffler? I'm not going to lie to you: When I was sitting on this beach and actually saw someone combing the beach with a metal detector, I thought to myself, "What if Newt Scamander took his Niffler to the beach to hunt for treasures?" Started on this beach, and now we're here, talking about wizard beach trips. Shout-out to the man hunting for treasure who has been a true inspiration to me.
Epic Wizard Sandcastles
Okay, come on, you know that there had to be some sorcery behind however this Hogwarts sandcastle came into existence... Imagine the sand architecture a wizard could create with just a touch of magic.
What's you're favorite beach activity? How much greater do you think it would be if you added a dash of magic?
