Benefits of going to the beach!

We can all agree that a day at the beach can cure just about any bad attitude. But did you know there are actual health benefits to dipping your toes in the sand, too?

Vitamin D: According to Healthline, vitamin D is referred to as the sunshine vitamin because it’s produced in your skin in response to sunlight. Vitamin D has several important functions. Perhaps the most vital are regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorus,  and facilitating normal immune system function.

Exercise: The beach is a natural fitness center. Whether you take a swim in the gulf waters or walk in the sand, you are sure to improve body strength and cardiovascular health.

A better night’s sleep: An article from DailyMail.com explains that sea air is charged with healthy negative ions that accelerate our ability to absorb oxygen. Negative ions also balance levels of serotonin, a body chemical linked with mood and stress.

It’s no secret that times are still stressful for everyone, so why not plan a trip to Gulf Shores or Orange Beach this summer? And make sure you add a Sail Wild Hearts adventure to your itinerary!

Here’s to a healthier 2021!

Five things to do at the beach this summer

Summer is fast approaching, and we’re already looking forward to good times in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach all season long. Whether your idea of a perfect summer vacation includes action and adventure or nothing but rest and relaxation, there’s something for everyone at the beach! No matter your vacation style, you’ll want to check the following five things off your bucket list this summer.

Hit the beach.
The white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters are calling your name. Pack your swimsuit, a beach umbrella and plenty of snacks for a fun-filled day of salt spray and waves. Don’t forget the sunscreen!

Grab a bite to eat.
There are so many tasty ways to experience Gulf Shores. Try fresh seafood straight from the gulf, or dine in style at a number of restaurants on the water. You’ve got to eat either way, right?

Enjoy the nightlife.
While it’s tempting to stay inside the condo and catch up on your sleep, you won’t want to miss out on craft cocktails, live music, new friends and nighttime fun in Gulf Shores. Check out this local calendar of events to see what’s popping during your stay!

Book a cruise.
See a whole new side of the beach on board a Sail Wild Hearts cruise. From romantic sunset sails to action-packed adventure trips, choose a cruise for an unforgettable aquatic adventure. Just be sure to bring your camera!

Make memories.
Whipping up a home-cooked meal in your condo, building sandcastles, snapping sunset pictures on a Sail Wild Hearts cruise or seeing your favorite band live . . . It’s all about making memories to last a lifetime.

Fine dining and craft cocktails? Offshore fishing and bushwackers? Plenty of sleep and poolside relaxation? How will you spend your summer vacation in Gulf Shores this year?
