Why You Should Never Wear Socks And Sandals To The Beach

Would you ever wear socks and sandals to the beach in the first place? Okay, probably not, but we're saying it anyway, just in case. There are a few reasons why it's a pretty bad idea (via Travelversed). Not only is it something of an ... interesting stylistic choice, but you're setting yourself up for hours spent trying to get hundreds of grains of sand out of your socks. That's annoying enough while you're actually at the beach, but once you leave to grab food or get in the car for the journey back, there's nothing worse. 

Apart from, perhaps, wet socks. Even if you go to the beach and sit yourself away from the sea, it only takes a dog to shake water off near you or a child to spill a bucket in your direction and your socks and sandals combination will get wet. If the sun's out, they might dry fairly quickly, but it still won't be comfortable. One last point: Why wear open-toed shoes at all if you're just going to put socks on under them (via No Cold Feet)?
