Here's our Top Tips on How to Relax on a Beach Vacation

· RESEARCH THE RIGHT PLACE

One of the best things about Queensland is that when it comes to beaches, you’re pretty spoilt for choice. Whether it’s exploring the national parks of the Whtsundays, strolling the secluded shores of cape Glocester, picking Airlie Beach ensures your holiday kicks off on the right start.

· TURN OFF YOUR PHONE

Though it might be tempting to check in at work, or to see what your friends are doing, there is something very relaxing about just being in the moment. Take a break to absorb your surroundings, breathe in a bit of sea air, and just…be. If you’re trying to figure out just how to relax on a beach vacation without foregoing, all digital communication, allocating a certain time during the day to check emails can be a great to compartmentalize without

switching off entirely.

· LEAVE SOME ROOM ON YOUR ITINERARY

The whole point of having a vacation is taking some time to breathe, so make sure your schedule isn’t so jam picked that you find yourself racing from one activity to the next. Some of the best moments in life can come from spontaneity. On the flip side, it’s also a good thing to make you do have some activities planned, especially if you’re holidaying with the family during the school holidays. Just remember, pacing yourself is key!

· PICK THE RIGHT LOCATION

Relaxing shouldn’t require much effort, so choosing the right location can make or break your holiday. Whether it’s a Bella Vista on Nara for a taste of comfort and location, or a beach front villa, picking the right place to suit the vibe you’re going for can ensure your holiday stay is as relaxing as possible.

· TAKE YOUR PET WITH YOU

If you’re not comfortable leaving your furry friend behind, finding accommodation that’s pet friendly can ensure both you have a stress-free holiday without worrying about finding a sitter, or sending them off to a kennel. Additionally, the money you save on boarding can be better spent on sightseeing activities or eating out. Win win!
