11 Signs You’re Entering Middle Age on a Beach Getaway

Remember those wild beach vacations from your twenties and thirties? Days filled with snorkeling, surfing, and late-night adventures that often ended with you stumbling back to your hotel room at 2 or 3 a.m.? Those carefree days were filled with laughter and stories that sometimes bordered on the absurd. Now, hitting the beach is still a blast, but it’s clear that things have shifted a bit. Here are some telltale signs that you might be embracing middle age during your seaside retreat:

1. The thought of tanning doesn’t even cross your mind anymore. You’re more focused on whether that 100 SPF sunscreen is truly doing its job.
2. No one is trying to sell you anything sketchy on the beach—what a relief!
3. Whenever you find yourself in your hotel room for a while, you slip into that cozy hotel robe. It just feels right.
4. Forget about taking photos in broad daylight; everyone looks way better under the glow of tiki torches.
5. You and your partner have started discussing the idea of returning as empty nesters, and it’s no longer just a distant concept.
6. Instead of hunting down the best surf spots, you’re happily boogie boarding with your child in the gentle shore break. It’s safer, right?
7. A rogue wave sweeps you off your feet and crashes you into the sand, leaving you sputtering and thrashing in the shallows. You realize you might actually drown in just a few inches of water—definitely safer!
8. Watching your child enjoy themselves from the beach is way more enjoyable than joining them in the water.
9. Suddenly, golf seems appealing, and you find yourself considering a round out on the greens.
10. When you discover your hotel lacks HBO, you and your spouse engage in a lighthearted debate over who was supposed to download HBO GO. After a frustrating hour of wrestling with the hotel Wi-Fi, you finally get it working on your laptop—just in time to cozy up and watch Game of Thrones for about 10 minutes before both of you drift off to sleep.
11. Despite your best efforts to apply sunscreen regularly, you end up with unsightly sunburn patches and find yourself lounging by the pool, wrapped in towels and sporting a wide-brimmed hat. Surprisingly, you’re not even embarrassed.
