7. Floatopia – Santa Monica & Miami

This very unique and somewhat ingenious concept started in Southern California amongst spring breakers before making its way to Miami. College students would gather by the thousands with large floats or inflatables to gain bragging rights of having the coolest floats, of course we cannot exclude the alcohol and the fact that it is FREE to enter. In fact the founder of this gathering describes the event as social experiment to see how social media could be used to spread awareness and explore the viral nature of something enjoyable. This beach event brings the child out in all of us. Check out our inflatables before you go 🙂

Where: Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand When: Every night that there’s a full moon

Why you should go: If you aim for lunacy when you party, let the gravity of the full moon pull you towards Ko Pha Ngan. These sandy shindigs began humbly back in 1985, when a dozen moonstruck backpackers took to the celestially sublime beach. Since then the world famous party has swollen (for years only by word of mouth) and attracts up to 30,000 revelers and big stage live music. What else? There’s a rave-y jump rope competition, booze sold by the bucket, and (probably) super chill werewolves… – Via “Thrillist”

10. Boardmasters Festival –  Cornwall, England 

Sure, England may not seem like the natural choice for a party-by-the-sea that centers on surfing and skateboarding. But it is, and has been since 1981. This annual English merrymaking is basically split into two parts: Fistral Beach and Watergate Bay. Fistral Beach is where the surfers and skaters compete, and Watergate Bay is Nixon’s final resting place. Just kidding — Watergate Bay is where there’s quality music, food and drink, and even gnarly amusement park rides. Whether you want to shake it or skate it, there’s a beach party here for that.
