Surfing

Catch some waves with your friends on a nice sunny day. Surfing is a great hobby that not only keeps your body in great shape but teaches you persistence and rhythm.

Additionally, you can try more tricks the more comfortable you get.

Cliff Jumping

Cliff jumping is an activity for those who like to live on the edge—literally. Some people would be hesitant to jump into the ocean, but if you’re an adrenaline seeker this one’s for you! No matter how high your jump is, safety must always come first. Scope out where you will be jumping and if the conditions are safe. Never jump if you are not comfortable. Start with small jumps and work your way up. Your adrenaline will be pumping and you’ll be soaring through the air in no time.

Scuba Diving

If you are curious about what lies beneath the surface of the ocean, scuba diving is a great hobby for you. Explore the great unknown and open your eyes to many different kinds of fish and sea creatures. Dive in with either a group lesson or even just a few friends after you’re comfortable (and certified). Once you’re certified and get your own scuba gear, you can put your curiosity at ease and go explore the deep blue sea.

Boogie Boarding

This hobby is perfect for those who aren’t as excited about deep waters or submerging themselves completely. Boogie boarding can be done within the first 20-30 feet off the shore.
