People travel to the seaside and summer resorts in the summer to obtain psychological comfort and avoid the heat.

However, going to the resort is often accompanied by some unsettling demeanor and behavior that seem out of place.

Here are some of the do's and don'ts that people ought to know to make the trip goes as smoothly as possible.

* Respect Privacy

Respecting privacy is one of the most important things that must be done.

If you want to take a photo, you must take into account that those surrounding you are not should not be photographed even if they are not famous individuals as well as if you and your friends or family take a photo, you do not have the right to post it on social media or send it to another person as this is considered an invasion of privacy.

* Loud voice

Many link happiness in the resort with extreme enthusiasm, however, you have to control yourself when you expressed it in loudness.

* Proper appearance

Be yourself anywhere, but bear in mind that every place and time has a dress code, maintain your style of clothing if you are modest, but without exaggeration and without looking down at others.

If you wear a two-piece swimsuit or one-piece, it should only be at the seashore or the swimming pool, as it is not suitable to wear a swimsuit in an undesignated area.

*No makeup

Unfortunately, social media usage influences the psychosocial behavior of many individuals, and this is something that must be undone.

Despite the makeup is harmful to the skin when it interacts with the sun, seawater, or swimming pool, we find many women go to the beach with full makeup on their faces to take a photo and share it on social media platforms.

* Food and beverages

There is no doubt that we ought to eat food on the beach, but it is tasteful not to bring foods with a pungent smell or foods that need to be eaten in a particular way.

People should use airtight containers, paper bags, or carton boxes to store sandwiches, easy-to-eat fruits, nuts, and crackers.

It is also proper not to make noise while eating and to dispose of waste in its designated place.

Happy vacation!
