Here Are Some Of The Funniest Beach Mistakes We’ve Ever Seen
For most of us, the beach conjures up images of sand, sun, and romance. However, this isn’t always the case in reality. There are many dangers at the beach, such as sand in your pants, friends’ pranks, and sunburns, as well as hammock hilarity. The beach of life may have sand, but there’s always something shiny to look forward to. Enjoy.
That’s Denture-Tainment
A Reddit user made a startling discovery while on a family vacation to the beach with her young daughter. “I found teeth!” was the last thing she expected to hear from her daughter. They may have been left on the beach by their grandfather. Most likely, a ship carrying dentures went down and spilled its cargo. Even more terrifying is the thought of having to swallow all that sand.
House Cat On Holiday
Kitty will love the ocean just as much as he loves the tub. For those who haven’t experienced it, it’s like being in an infinite number of bathtubs at once.
House Cat On Holiday
Isn’t it obvious to everyone why they’re known as “house cats?” Considering how close he is to this poor cat in his Borat mankini, it’s easy to see why he’s horrified by what he’s seen.
Flock of Felons
All hands on deck and sandwiches in hand, please! If this Reddit sign is to be believed, the entire seaside is run by a vicious pack of mobster seagulls. Avoid this beach at all costs.
Flock Of Felons
More information is needed because, if the seagulls aren’t employed by management, who are they working for? Who’s in charge of the crustacean crew? The mollusk mafia, perhaps? The action in this aquatic gangland adventure is heating up, so stay in the pool!
Ingenious Esplanade Escapade!
An esplanade escapade, rather than a beach fail, this Reddit user presents FlopFlips, their latest fake invention. On the beach, wearing these sandals will make it look as if you’re walking in an entirely different direction. Until we meet again, stalkers!
Ingenious Esplanade Escapade!
If the prototype is any indication, this idea for a useless stocking filler will be a hit! They’d also be very popular in the murderer community, as another user pointed out. If you can, catch me!
Adding Insult to Injury
Laughter truly is the best medicine, and Jimmy Fallon proves it by sharing his hilarious beach mishap with the world. What begins as a James Bond moment to impress his wife quickly turns into a disaster!
Adding Insult To Injury
The fact that a small child made fun of Fallon for his bloody knee and bad-toupee moment only served to add insult to injury. Fortunately, he’s made a career out of making people laugh, so we’re confident he’ll be fine.
Got Change For A Hundred?
Reddit user u/sarebot18 describes how her 8-year-old son came running up the beach yelling at the top of his lungs “I found $100!” in a classic case of “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”
Got Change For A Hundred?
Sadly, when my mom went over to take a look, she found it to be more Monopoly than a captured treasure. It’s hard to believe that an 8-year-old asked the ice-cream vendor if they had a hundred dollars in change!
Watch My Livestream!
Beachgoers have all been caught off guard at least once, but the Lithuanian lifeguards have gone all out, threatening anyone caught out with five minutes of fame — and it’s not the kind they want!
Watch My Livestream!
The kind of people who need to be told to urinate in public may actually find it an encouragement, as many Reddit users pointed out. The term “free streaming service” really does mean what they say it does!
Soaking In The View
In stark contrast to our sunburned companion, this individual has taken the suncream’s recommendation to “apply generously every 2 to 4 hours” far too literally. Furthermore, he will be forever immortalized on Google Street View staring out at…the ocean, which is the worst possible outcome.
Soaking In The View
When it comes to marketing, Marcus, you have to get your hands dirty. Perhaps he’s always wanted to be famous on the internet, but this isn’t the kind of vacation photo he’ll be proud to show his sons when he returns home from his trip.
Unwanted Attention
Joel Mohr, a Twitter user, has no qualms about his side hustle, describing a humiliating incident during a family vacation in Newport. Joel and his wife slipped away in the dark, but the police searchlight had other plans!
Unwanted Attention
In light of the fact that this was a family vacation, Joel and his wife are clearly not spring chickens. That said, there have been worse things started by a sunny afternoon and a 2-for-1 cocktail!
Rest And Relaxation
There’s nothing better than stretching and meditating to the sound of lapping waves in a yoga class on the beach. Well, that is, unless you’re in a class with her!
Rest And Relaxation
Photo of wife in classic ‘fart at the sky position’ shared by Reddit user u/DimitriT. Her decision to bring her suitcase with her could be seen as a sign that she was really trying to take off.
Three’s A Crowd
Summer and Seth may have been set up by the photographer and his girlfriend because they thought it would be a great idea to have a summer romance between their best friends. It’ll be like The OC if you have a beach party!
Three’s A Crowd
This amorous couple appears to have started a serious make-out session after a few too many sangrias. As summer love burns bright and fast, it may be best to cool them down with a splash of water.
This Is Not A Drill!
Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” is to blame for a lot of beach panic and fear, as Twitter user Emily discovered when she spotted what she thought was a shark fin in the water.
This Is Not A Drill!
Lifeguards deal with enough emergencies without having to deal with calls reporting shark attacks that aren’t real, but it happens more than once a week, despite the low likelihood of a shark attack.
Toe-Rings And Glitter
Sandcastle building and sunbathing at the beach used to be the norm, but times have changed. Ice cream, ultimate frisbee, and rock pooling are all things of the past. It’s selfie time at the beach today!.
Toe Rings And Glitter
It’s admirable that one of the girls is trying to snorkel, even if she has no idea what she’ll find beneath the waves. Instead of tropical fish and coral, you’ll probably find toe rings and glitter.
Love Conquers All
According to Mary Strand, who shared this heartwarming Twitter fail with us, her husband had planned the perfect beach engagement. In his mind, the sound of waves crashing against the shore, perhaps in the waning light of sunset, was an ideal romantic setting.
Love Conquers All
The couple was literally swept off their feet, not just caught up in the moment. Finally, he didn’t lose it, and Mary laughed (and said yes!). It’s a proposal that will be remembered for a long time.
It’ll Be Fun, They Said…
In their natural state, cats are creatures of leisure, perpetually lounging around and acting like the total divas that they are, so it’s easy to see why this Reddit user thought it would be a good idea to take her cat to the beach for a Christmas day outing.
It’ll Be Fun, They Said…
This kitty has had enough of the seagulls and the sand between her paws. When a cat harbors a grudge, you can be sure the owner will have to put up with that steely cat glare for the next month or so.
Take The Hint!
He learned the hard way that if you want something done correctly, you have to do it yourself. It was only when he sat down on the beach and asked his father for sunscreen that he received this Febreze air freshener.
Take The Hint!
Perhaps the Dad exclaimed, “What, I don’t know anything about skincare, should have asked your mother!” Actually, this was probably nothing more than a father-son ill-disguised suggestion. Get the message!
The Mystery Of Michael Calva
Michael Calva is a regular guy who enjoys the simple things in life, like taking a walk on the beach and flying his trusty kite into a strong headwind. But Michael had no idea what he was getting himself into.
The Mystery Of Michael Calva
A trash can, Michael. A. Trash. Can. With so many concerns and so little time, How did he get in there in the first place? How big was the can? What kind of scars did he get? Michael, if you’re still out there, please let us know!
Yes, Sis!
To be honest, it takes a while to see the humor in this picture, but once you do, it’s priceless! u/iamnotajeep posted this hilarious beach photo from a day when she was feeling so good that even her ponytail was flexing.
Yes, Sis!
Beach fail? More like beach goals in this picture! There are no easy wins, but this girl shows that when you get that good vibe summer feeling, it manifests itself in every fiber of your being. There is no doubt in my mind, my sis!
Photo Finish
Another holiday photo gone horribly wrong takes us back to Thailand. Those huge swings need warning signs like, “Please do not swing if you have had more than three fishbowl cocktails!” posted prominently on them.
Photo Finish
There’s no denying that Daniel is dope, but the guy on the right appears to be in control of his emotions. Don’t post the evening photos if this is what happened during the day!
Fashion Faux-Pas
No one has ever met a man like this who would say that anything goes at the beach. If you don’t mind getting sunburned, it’s a bad idea to wear two tropical prints together. Jack, just choose one!
Fashion Faux Pas
It’s hard to go wrong with the Hawaiian shirt and floral print short combo on its own; it screams “fun time party guy” or at least “cool uncle.” Fashion faux pas like this one are simply unforgivable.
Not Afraid
The mere threat of encountering a large shark is enough to deter most people from ever setting foot in water. It’s clear these people aren’t as frightened as the rest of us.
Not Afraid
When there were reports of sharks in the water at this beach, they put up a sign warning people to swim at their own risk. However, it appears that visitors to this popular beach ignored the warning sign and risked their lives in the water.
Don’t Have a Cow
It’s not unusual to see animals on the beach. A hungry seagull or a pet dog that someone brought out to the beach may be waiting for you. There aren’t as many farm animals around.
Don’t Have A Cow
However, this photo shows that your chances of encountering a cow while working on your tan aren’t completely nil. This person appears to have gone to great lengths to bring their cows to the beach for a change of scenery.
Rules Are Rules
Almost always, when you see a sign outlining a rule, you can assume that it is there for a good reason. However, this does not guarantee that people will pay attention in the manner in which they should.
Rules Are Rules
This beach had a pipe running along the sand. Consequently, a sign warning people not to play on or around the pipe was put up. However, in this picture, we see beachgoers using the pipe as a seat, covering nearly the entire length of it..
Diving In
When it comes to vacationing at the beach, diving is one of the activities that people enjoy doing the most. This is an excellent way to observe the ecosystems that exist beneath the surface of the water.
Diving In
To ensure your safety while diving, you must have the proper equipment. In this man’s case, it’s best not to use homemade equipment. That tank on his back isn’t an oxygen tank at all—a it’s propane one!
Dressed to Impress
There are a few items of clothing that will always be associated with beach vacations. Anything goes in the world of bikinis and trunks! Even a skirt or a pair of cargo shorts can be adapted to fit.
Dressed To Impress
Getting dressed up for a day at the beach was a departure for this woman. She accessorizes her outfit with a slick handbag and a pair of tights. I can’t imagine walking in heels on wet sand, which is the scariest part of her outfit.
Comfort First
When going to the beach, many people bring something to sit on. In most cases, they bring a beach towel, blanket, or chair. Even an umbrella to shield them from the glare of the sun is an option.
Comfort First
When he was on vacation, this guy took things to a whole new level. In order to enjoy the waves as comfortably as possible, he brought his pull-out couch along with him. Hopefully, the waves didn’t ruin it!
Technical Failure
On the beach, this woman decided to bring an unusual prop for her photoshoot. She didn’t just bring her sunglasses; she also brought her laptop, so she could surf while working on it.
Technical Failure
Technology and water are known for their inability to mix. Even if her laptop worked before the photoshoot, it’s almost certain that it won’t work again afterward. Her laptop is almost completely submerged in the shot, which makes this even more important.
A Little Fear
Having a fear of the water is a common cat trope. As for humans, they prefer to stay out of the water. When this pup went to the beach for the first time, things didn’t go as smoothly as his owners expected.
A Little Fear
This pup was clinging to the sand for dear life rather than preparing to jump into the water. Even his paw prints in the sand from when he walked slowly to the waves are still visible behind him.
Standing Against the Tide
Surfing is an activity that many people enjoy while relaxing on the beach. It’s a great way to unwind and enjoy some time in the sun on a day off from work.
Standing Against The Tide
This person decided to take things to a whole new level by doing a headstand in the water while relaxing. It’s an impressive feat. Finally, it takes a lot of strength and balance to accomplish this. His timing could have been better in this picture because his head is completely submerged!
Buried In the Wrong Spot
At the beach, it’s not unusual to see a person buried under the sand. This is a pastime that never goes out of style, from children to adults. However, you must exercise caution when doing this.
Buried In The Wrong Spot
It’s easy to get swept up in the chaos of beach activities if you’re stuck in the wrong spot and unable to move. This guy clearly missed the memo and is regretting his decision as a football flies towards him in the sand.
Presidents Do It Too
There is a misconception that beach fails are confined to the realm of the common man. So why not take advantage of the fact that we don’t often get to see famous people make everyday mistakes?
Presidents Do It Too
Bill Clinton, on the other hand, had his own beach fail while he was president! A trip to a beach was not complete without a game of football. When the football was thrown his way, he had a unique way of catching it.
Think Fast!
It takes a lot of effort to raise a puppy. If this little guy and his owners needed a day at the beach, it’s understandable. Even when you’re not at work, you need to keep an eye on your puppy to make sure they don’t get into any mischief.
Think Fast!
Hopefully, this woman was able to catch her dog before he ripped her bathing suit top off of her. Dogs love to play with dangling strings, and this energetic pup had no intention of embarrassing his mom in the process.
Better Safe Than Sorry
Swimming and playing in the waves are two of the best parts of going to the beach. There is a danger, however, in the ocean. As a result, they took their family to the beach.
Better Safe Than Sorry
A kiddie pool was brought to the beach in lieu of jumping into the ocean. That being said, it was easy to fill and they still had a good time in the sand.
How to Sunbathe
On the beach, one of the most relaxing activities is to relax and soak up the rays of sunshine. Just remember to put on sunscreen before you go outside, and you can even take a nap.
How To Sunbathe
It’s dangerous to expose your skin to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays without sunscreen. This woman opted for a different method of self-defense. She stayed out of the sun’s rays by snoozing under blankets and towels.
Snack Time
Taking a picture of your food and posting it on social media is a common trend. To show off the frozen treat they were eating on a beach, this person took a picture of themselves.
Snack Time
If this is what really happened, then it is obvious that this is not what happened. Her snack was taken by a seagull just as she was about to take the picture. It managed to ruin both the snack and the photo in the process. Even so, the timing of this image could not be better suited.
All Hail These Phallic Fish!
Drakes Beach, California, residents were shocked when their beautiful coastline was overrun by these strange and wonderful creatures last December. A powerful storm is thought to have washed away their sandy homes, exposing them to the public.
All Hail These Phallic Fish!
Known as ‘penis fish’ in South Korea and Japan, these fat innkeeper worms are a delicacy for seals, sharks and seagulls. It’s up to them, but they don’t look like they’ll be easy to eat!
Once Bitten, Twice Shy!
There are no holds barred when it comes to this sign from a beach in Thailand. If you don’t want to deal with a dog defecating on your feet, you might want to avoid this beach altogether!
Once Bitten, Twice Shy!
Shutting down the beach might be a good idea if it has happened frequently enough to merit a sign. In fact, it could be the source of the beached innkeeper worms in California!
Laura Is Over It!
Laura had to walk a mile to work because she couldn’t find a parking spot, so she parked her car on the seafront. Because her car is covered in sand, she probably just wants to get home and binge-watch some Netflix. But there’s still more to come!
Laura Is Over It!
The following is a public service announcement: women do not enjoy being catcalled, especially on their property. If you want to impress Laura, dust the sand off or just, you know, leave her car alone next time?
Hammock 1- Stepf 0
Stepf Wolff, a Twitter user, simply wanted a picture to show family and friends back home of her having the time of her life while on vacation. As this hilarious photo shows, hammocks are a tumultuous beast to master.
Hammock 1 Stepf 0
Hammocks were probably dangerous to the person who invented them, but they were still made! A face-plant in sand makes this beach fail even more ridiculous. The Hammock prevailed, but thanks for participating!
Punishment By Dunking!
A hilarious montage shows what happened when a Reddit user’s girlfriend tried to get him to take a romantic selfie for Instagram. As soon as she realized her dream relationship had been ruined by an evil ex-boyfriend, we were there to witness her shock and awe.
Punishment By Dunking!
The fact that both the photographer and subject are submerged in full-length sneakers was quickly brought to the attention of the community at large. Dunking should be the punishment for destroying a nice pair of Nikes!
Only You Hold The Key!
To keep your locker key safe, the swimming pool gives you those rubber wristbands to wear. Max G’s buddy learned the hard way! His amusing tweet depicts a snorkeling trip that went awry.
Only You Hold The Key!
Probably the most likely outcome of this situation is a rerun of their childhood swimming lessons, where they have to dive in their pajamas to find the key. A must-have!
Wake Up, Henry!
Regardless of what anyone tells them, there’s always that one friend who will not put on sunscreen. They’ll say things like, “I just need to get my base tan down,” as they lay out in the sun at noon.
Wake Up, Henry!
What a snooze, Henry. Even though it’s painful to say, the girls at the beach bar aren’t going to appreciate your bold choice of lobster over beetroot. To be safe, always wear sunscreen!
Passive Aggressive Parenting
When Alyssa Vieira, a Twitter user, set up her kids for a holiday photo, her youngest decided to have a full-blown tantrum and share it with the rest of the family on the platform. Unfazed, she made the most of the opportunity by turning her beach fail into comedy gold!
Passive Aggressive Parenting
Her tweet got a lot of attention, with some people praising her for her clever sandbox caption. For the graduation photo slideshow, this will be one of the few photos that no one took advantage of her offer.
You Do You, Pelican!
For a creature that knows what it does and isn’t afraid to tell the world about it, there’s a lot to admire. Pelican, it’s up to you! That which he despises most is stupid people, according to this fellow.
You Do You, Pelican!
Some pelicans have been documented eating mammals, so it’s just a matter of time before we hear about them again. The tourist in the photo who is getting closer with their camera should take this advice to heart.
Let It All Out!
Pylar Eaton posted a photo of her son peeing in the middle of a slew of pee-related content. However, it appears that the poor kid didn’t understand the instructions when nature called and when you’ve gotta go, you gotta go.
Let It All Out!
People don’t seem to know that the beach has bathrooms. Those who covertly pee in the ocean while pretending they aren’t are worse. At least he wasn’t being a sly prankster here!
Self-Referential Signage
It’s the big reveal, the one you’ve all been anticipating. Please join your hands for the winner of the 2020 Most Accurate Sign of the Year award (drumroll please)… “Falling Rock!”
Self Referential Signage
Ironically, not only did the cliff’s rocks fall from above, but so did the sign that was attached to it. Why didn’t this pay more attention to its own needs?
Life’s A Beach
There are dogs who adore the beach, and then there are dogs who are the beach. Even though his owner’s reasoning for burying the pooch isn’t clear, the dog sure is throwing shade.
Life’s A Beach
Watching the other dogs frolicking in the sand, this one appears to be plotting his revenge. There are bound to be a few surprises in store for this new owner!
Please, Think Of The Children!
Sacha Baron Cohen’s movies are comedy gold, feats of sheer genius with hilarious characters that have surprised and delighted moviegoers worldwide. Borat mankini, on the other hand, should never have made it out of the planning stages.
Please, Think Of The Children!
Nowadays, it seems like you can’t go to the beach without running into a bro wearing one of these lycra monstrosities in lime green. Please, someone keep the children in mind. We know you’re the funniest member of your crew.
Sand Is Not A Snack!
As this Reddit user describes his puppy’s first trip to the beach, there will be more dog days ahead. He ate enough sand in about two minutes to learn that sand isn’t supposed to be eaten.
Sand Is Not A Snack!
In an instant, the puppy’s joy at being able to feast on so much food turned to disgust. However, the best way to learn is by doing, and it may take a lot longer for some kids to realize that sand is not a snack.
Luck Of The Irish
This picture was taken on Portmarnock Beach in Dublin by a man who didn’t notice the guy passed out on the grass until he got home and uploaded the picture to his computer!
Luck Of The Irish
We’re not surprised that the photographer didn’t notice him on such a bright and sunny day in Ireland, but could someone please bring the poor man a bottle of water and a bacon sandwich to cheer him up?
