1. Instead of building a sandcastle, construct a modern day military fortress, complete with a helicopter pad, laser defence grid and missile silo.
2. Hire a metal detector and look for buried treasure. If you’re lucky, you might even find some pirate gold, if you’re not, you might find some rusty screws and an unexploded mine from World War Two.
3. Bury a friend in the sand. Note: Don’t completely cover their head as they may suffocate and this will probably ruin everyone’s day. At the very least they will swallow a lot of sand and it does not taste good.
4. Go for a dip in the ocean, clothing optional. Enjoy all the wonders of British and Irish waters, including freezing cold temperatures, clingy dead seaweed and playful crabs.
