Everyone has a funny story to tell about their beach experiences. From entertaining animal encounters to rookie beach-goers’ bloopers, people have shared some of their funniest seaside stories on social media. We’ve handpicked a few of these stories to tickle your funny bone.

Bullies Get Their Just Desserts

On one beautiful beach day, a user witnessed a scene straight out of a movie. They said, “I was sitting on the beach, watching kids build sandcastles, when a group of teenagers started kicking them down, leaving the kids in tears. My friends and I decided to help rebuild, but this time we hid small rocks inside. The look on the bullies’ faces when they tried to kick it down again, was priceless.”

Embracing the Icy Waters: A Seaside Spectacle

Winter doesn’t deter beach lovers from enjoying the seaside, as one user hilariously observed. They recounted, “In wintertime, most people just jog or walk their dogs along the shore. However, I’ve noticed some brave souls from colder regions venturing into the freezing waters. The sight of people swimming when the temperature was in the 50s was definitely amusing!”

The Unfortunate Clash: Beach Newbie vs. The Wave

Some people just don’t understand beach etiquette, as this user amusingly shared, “One day, I saw a girl clearly not from around the area. She was all dolled up with makeup and jewelry. She made quite a splash, both literally and figuratively, when a huge wave knocked her over. The transformation from glamorous to sand-covered happened in a flash, and it was hilarious to witness. I’m sorry if that sounds mean, but she had it coming to her and everyone around got a good laugh out of it.”

Culture Shock: From Business Suits to Birthday Suits on European Beaches

Cultural differences can sometimes lead to amusing moments. A North American teenager visiting Europe experienced just this, “I was amazed to see people casually basking and swimming in the nude on European beaches. The casualness of it all was hilarious and quite a shock to me.”

As a young teenager, he thought it was funny how one man came in fully suited up and stripped, got into the waters, swam for a bit, got out and dried himself right in front of everyone. It was even funny how people did not seem to bother anyone. A few people came over to the comment section and told him that was a normal thing to do, especially on beaches in Spain. Nobody cared when people stripped or when they had thin bikinis. 

Beachside Blunders: A Swimwear Snafu

Swimwear malfunctions can make for quite a spectacle, as one user found out during a family outing. “I went to the beach with my cousins and one of them wore her new brown swimsuit for the first time. All was fine until she came out of the water, and we realized the swimsuit had turned completely transparent. The look on her face as she wrapped herself in a towel was both priceless and hilariously awkward.”

Seagull Showdown: A Food-Filled Frenzy

Sometimes nature has its own sense of humor, as one user discovered. “My 10-year-old daughter was enjoying her sandwich when a flock of seagulls decided they wanted a bite. She started screaming, running back in panic, but the huge flock of seagulls was now aggressively following her. Everybody was laughing, but the girl wouldn’t let go of the sandwich. I had to run after her, screaming at her to throw away the sandwich.” 

Skimboarding Slip-Up: An Unexpected Dip

Attempting to keep up with the younger generation can sometimes lead to unintended comedy. “I watched as a middle-aged man tried to skimboard, attempting to match the pace of the younger guys,” one beachgoer shared. “His weight, however, had other plans. The board dug into the sand, and he went face-first into it in front of everyone. It was hard not to laugh. Well, we did laugh but we tried not to let him see us.”

He got up, washed the sand off in the water, got his skimboard, and returned to his chair. 

Winged Bandits on the Run: Out to Retrieve Stolen Seashells

Another user and her daughter had collected shells and piled them on their beach towel. Satisfied with what they had collected, she went to wash her hands in the water. As she was walking back, she saw a seagull charging toward their pile of seashells. 

The seagull then grabbed a huge seashell and ran off, and she decided to chase it. While at it, she could hear people laugh, but she kept going. Funny enough, the seagull did not fly. It was determined to finish the chase. 

Eventually, it dropped the seashell and kept running across the sand. She picked up the shell and walked back, receiving an applause from the onlookers. 

Unexpected Aerial Bombardment: Nature’s Mischievous Side

Another user shared a funny moment when a seagull pooped right into his date’s ear. 

So, they were on a third date at Jones Beach. It was a lovely sunny summer day, and they were having a great time. The lady was lying on her side, facing her date, the commenter. They were having a nice conversation about something the lady was interested in. 

Then, a seagull took a poop out of nowhere, and it went right into her right ear. She screamed so loud the lifeguards came around. The commenter said, “There was no way I could keep from laughing hysterically. At this point, his date said she could taste the seagull’s poop!”

They spent around 20 minutes washing it off in the ocean and drove back in total silence. 

From Breadcrumbs to Chaos: Feeding Frenzy Fallout

Ignoring advice can sometimes lead to comically disastrous results. Another responder had been told never to feed the gulls midair whenever he went to the beach. One day, he was there and saw a family with small kids doing it. He told them they shouldn’t, but they ignored him. They gave him dirty looks and thought he was after spoiling their fun. 

All of a sudden, the gulls started pooping on them in midair. All he could do was laugh as he watched the parents scramble to get the kids, their food, drinks, and towel away from the cloudburst of poop.
