Spanish Medium Review Quiz - Vocabulary - A Day at the Beach! (Questions)

Are you a mountain person or a beach person? Both places have their attractions and both places provide you with lots of things to do! In this Spanish Medium Review quiz you will be spending a day at the beach, in Spanish that is. For you mountain people – don’t worry – we will visit the mountains in another quiz. See, it’s the best of both worlds. However, let’s focus in on the beach.

The beach is alive with activity! Therefore, before you head on out, you better prepare a few items to take with you or you could wind up in a little trouble and seriously burned. You could also get a little wet if you take a paddle in the sea, so something to dry yourself on might be in order. With that in mind, let’s look at things to take to the beach and things that can be found at the beach!
