National Beach Day is celebrated at the height of Summer, on August 30.
Everyone loves to spend a warm day laying on their towel on a sandy beach, making sandcastles, and taking a dip in the beautiful sea.
This is the day to celebrate that experience! National Beach Day also raises awareness about how important it is to keep beaches clean so everyone can enjoy them.
The first people to have the idea of a day to celebrate the beaches in the United States were the Knights of Columbus in Milwaukee, in 1929. This day was meant to be a part of their convention plans, but it never took off in popularity.
The day was forgotten until 2014 when family lifestyle expert Colleen Page created National Beach Day to be observed at the end of August.
The goal of this day is to show appreciation for beaches and show people that they must be kept clean so that future generations can enjoy them as we do!
