There’s a good reason why the beach is a prime spot for romance. During the day the sun on the water glistens like a diamond and at night the glow of the moon is equally breathtaking. In light of my upcoming book, “Malibu Angel,” being set at the beach, I’ve listed five top romantic things to do at the beach.
Profess Your Love in the Sand
Sure, it’s fun to make sand castles, but creating visual testaments of your love in the sand is even better. You can simply make a heart with you and your loved one’s initials, or go a step further and write a poem before the ocean takes your thoughts out to sea.
Message in a Bottle
These days, we know that throwing a bottle out to sea isn’t very environmentally friendly. But, here’s an updated way to send a message out to sea. Grab a large stone, use paint or chalk to write a love message and toss it with all your might. Your thoughts will be forever with the ocean.
Picnic by Day or Night
Let’s face it…food and romance go together. Whether you’re having a picnic during the day or an evening feast, enjoying your food on the beach somehow makes it taste just a bit better.
Can you rub suncream on my shoulders?
Have you heard that line? It’s an oldie, but a goodie. When your loved one looks like they’re getting a little fried, or even if they’re not, offer to massage the suncream onto their shoulders and then take some extra time around their neck and back. It’s an appropriate way to get close.
Take a beach walk.
The great thing about taking a walk on the beach is that there isn’t a need for words. Simply holding hands, feeling the ocean breeze and gazing at the water while it nips at your toes is an ideal way to spend time with someone you care about.

It’ll be the summer she loses everything she was to him.
Naomi desperately wants to get away from her life. Her boyfriend dumps her out of the blue, her best friend stabs her in the back, and her boss fires her—all in the same week. So when the opportunity to spend the summer in Paris for free lands on her lap, she jumps at it.
When she arrives in the most romantic city in the world, she imagines a summer of self-discovery, away from all the drama. But when she meets Sebastian, the Parisian bad boy who lives next door, Naomi knows she was wrong. Sebastian is seductive, mysterious, and everything Naomi is not. When he offers to be her personal guide around Paris, she knows it’s going to be the summer she loses herself completely to Sebastian and his world of secrets.

I think it’s important to recognize that in our quest to “do it all” and “have it all” that sometimes it’s just not possible. However, there is help for busy writers in the form of online tour companies who will assist in finding bloggers to shout out your latest book news.
While I do take an interest in the marketing of my books, I prefer to focus more on my writing and let others help me in that area. After all, that’s their expertise. So, how do you find one of these companies? Remember, Google is your friend. Aside from that, you can look at other author’s websites and FB pages as they will most likely give a plug for someone who has helped them.
My favorite tour company is My Family’s Heart. They are professional in their response time, which is the most important thing to me. They also work with a healthy number of bloggers, create beautiful graphics for authors and have a fabulous reporting method. What’s not to love?
My Family’s Heart can be found on Google+, Facebook, Twitter, and of course, their own website.
