In theory, going to the beach is a supremely relaxing activity that connects you to nature and lets you chill with loved ones, but that’s not always how the reality goes down.
A beach is also a place full of tons of strangers, flasks full of booze that influence bad decision making, and small animals trying to navigate the big sandpit. This is not to mention the looming presence of the sun, ready to scorch your flesh-bag once the sunscreen wears off and you opt for a sun nap.
During one of his recent hashtag roundups, Jimmy Fallon asked viewers to share their most embarrassing beach stories under the hashtag #beachfails and these make the old sand-in-the-underwear look like child’s play.
My wife and I were on an extended family vacation at Newport beach. We snuck off to make love on the beach at night away from the family. As we started making love the police helicopter who was looking for a suspect found us with thier light. They told us to get a room.

I let my daughter nap on the beach until a concerned man came and asked if she was my daughter. Then I realized it didn’t exactly look like she was sleeping

Went snorkeling with my friend and he found a house key in the ocean. He picked it up and said “some idiot lost his key” and threw it. When I dropped him off at his house he realized it was his key.

Tried to impress my wife by walking out of the ocean like Daniel Craig/James Bond. Got knocked over by a wave: riptide, pants down, bloody knee, hair looked like a bad toupee, and a little kid on the beach saw me and started crying.

A seagull dropped droppings on my dads’ back while at the beach. My dad turned to my mom and said thanks for the sunscreen. He then reached for his back and he spread the “sunscreen”.— Scott Rzepka (@ScottRzepkaNow)

I walked up behind my wife and said “You gorgeous stack of pancakes” when she turned around, it wasn’t my wife.

When my husband was in the ocean in NC, a wave caught him full in the face, and he ended up puking. We watched this ginormous blob of barf make its way to a woman who was swimming in a white bikini…

My friend said, “hey there’s a sea creature which looks like my purse”. When we looked closely, it was a huge wave carrying all our 8 handbags into the sea!!

That time I was eating a sandwhich while walking on the beach and I was attacked by MANY seaguls. I started running….tripped and landed face first into a guys crotch.— Terry (@DrkFntsy)

Felt something graze my foot, looked down to see a black mass in the water. My Shark Week instincts kicked in and I yelled “Shark!” I twisted my ankle and fell face first into the water while in survival mode.
Just to realize, it was a discarded trash bag.

My cousin had a beach wedding. I’m a very pale redhead. I put on so much sunscreen that the flash from the camera only picked up my black eyeliner, red hair, and floral dress. I ruined the wedding photos.

My wife was at the beach with her family. Her grandma was walking her dog by the water. A wave came and she fell into the water and couldn’t get up. My father in law thought she was just playing in the water and waved at her.
