Beat Those Blues this Winter

Beach vibes are not just for summer! We’re going to share ways you can make the most of your winter escape on the Coast. You know what they say, “A day at the beach is better than a day anywhere else!” This rings true any time of year!

Sun, Sand, and Vitamin Sea

The NC Coast experiences cold winters, sure. But, on some winter days, you can exchange your winter coat for flip-flops. There have been a few winter holidays where guests are rocking swimsuits, sunscreen, and a beach towel in their hands.

We cannot promise this all winter, but the sun works some magic on winter blues. During cold winter days, the sun is your new best friend. It is working overtime to kick those winter grays to the curb. It’s not just about getting a tan; it’s about soaking up the kind of sunshine that transforms your mood from “meh” to “oh yeah!”

The secret sauce? Vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin! As you bask in those beachy rays, your body is soaking up this essential vitamin, which boosts mood, energy levels, and overall well-being. It’s like a natural mood enhancer served up by the sun, and trust us, it works wonders. So, say goodbye to winter gloom and hello to the beach therapy that’ll have you radiating sunshine from the inside out!

Beachside Bonfire Bash

Gather some pals, build a bonfire, and cozy up with blankets. There’s nothing like the crackling sound of a fire and the salty breeze to lift those winter blues.

A bonfire at the beach isn’t just a bonfire; it’s a sensory experience, a gathering of friends, and the crackling warmth of the fire working together to create an atmosphere that’s nothing short of magical.

It’s in these moments, surrounded by the warmth of both friendship and the fire, that the winter blues melt away. The salty breeze becomes a refreshing reminder that, even in the chill of winter, the beach has the power to ignite joy and create memories that last far beyond the flickering flames.

So, grab a marshmallow, share a story, and let the beachside bonfire be the heartwarming highlight of your winter escapade with Bluewater.

Winter Watersports

Spice up your beach day with some thrilling watersports. Whether it’s surfing, paddleboarding, or even a chilly swim, the adrenaline rush will kick those blues to the curb. All you need is a wet suit. By the way, surfing on the East Coast is one of the best-kept secrets for adventure enthusiasts.

Glide across the water’s surface, the board beneath your feet, offering a unique perspective of the coastline. All you need is a wetsuit! With each paddle stroke, the worries of winter are replaced by the tranquility of the sea.

Feeling bold? Take a dip into the chilly ocean waters. The initial shock gives way to a refreshing embrace, and soon you find yourself swimming against the tide, surrounded by the vastness of the sea. The adrenaline rush kicks in, and suddenly, the winter blues are nothing but a distant memory.

Tropical Tunes and Beach Blanket Vibes

Create a playlist of your favorite tropical tunes and pack a beach picnic. Good food and good music have magical powers to lift spirits. As you lounge on the beach blanket, taking in the breathtaking view, each bite you have in your basket becomes a culinary journey. A tropical playlist complements the flavors. After all, good food and good music intertwine into a sensory experience lifting your spirits to new heights.

Our Bluewater Beats: Summer Vibes playlist is the perfect way to complement your winter beach vacation! Those musical summer vibes can even get “Old Man Winter” grooving!

Beach Yoga Bliss

Roll out your beach towel and strike a pose! Yoga by the sea is not only great for your body but also fantastic for clearing the mind. Namaste those winter blues away.

As you move through the poses, you’ll feel the gentle breeze on your skin and the sand beneath your feet, adding a natural element to your practice. It’s not about perfect poses; it’s about the joy of stretching and breathing in the salty sea air. Trust us; your body will thank you for it.

And here’s the secret sauce: Yoga isn’t just a physical workout; it’s a mental reset button. With each breath, you’re letting go of winter stress and making room for a clear mind.

Capture the Sunset Magic

Winter sunsets by the beach are pure magic. Grab your camera (or phone) and capture those breathtaking moments. The colors alone will transport you to a happier place.

It’s not just about capturing a photo; it’s about preserving a feeling. The vibrant colors have a way of seeping into your soul, creating a memory that you can revisit whenever the winter blues creep in. Be sure to dress warm. Winter nights can be chilly, especially as the sun goes down. Read more as we share what to wear at the beach in the winter.
