Go shell collecting. Shell collecting is another way for people to enjoy
the outdoors without overexerting themselves. If you want to have a nice
day at the beach but surfing or tanning just isn't for you, take a long
walk on the beach, picking up any shells that interest you. You can even
get a shell collecting guidebook or go online and try to identify the kind
of shells that you found. You can also take along a child, or a good friend
that you want to talk to. It's a great way to enjoy the beach, pay
attention to detail, and pass the time.
* Check the laws first, as shell collecting is illegal in some places,
such as the UK.
* If collecting natural produce is prohibited, you can still collect
there things from the beach that aren't naturally there, such as
seaglass and china pieces.

See the green flash. Some people say that the green flash is a just an
invention of Jules Verne, while others insist it's a real phenomenon. In
any event, it's certainly worth trying to see the green flash at least once
in your life. Find a good spot to watch the sunset. Keep your eyes on the
sun and wait for it to dip as low as it can to the horizon, when just the
tiniest sliver of light remains. There, right before the sun disappears,
you'll see a flash of green that signals that another day is over. This can
be a truly romantic and breathtaking experience.

Skip rocks. Skipping rocks is a fun way to hang out near a body of water
and it can also be a real skill that you develop. All you need is some
water and a place where you can pick up some flat stones that are at least
the size of a half dollar. Just hold the stone in between your index finger
and thumb, so it's parallel to the ground, and snap your wrist so you
launch the rock toward the water, making it hit the water's surface at a
slight angle so it skips further away from you. Once you become an expert,
you can have rock skipping contests with your friends, or try to go for a
record for how many times you can make one rock skip.

Write a poem about nature. Go outside and find a comfortable seat. All you
need is a notebook, a pen, and an open mind. Start writing about what you
see -- the beauty, the mystery, and the magic of the nature in front of
you, even if you're just looking at a few trees or an open field. There is
always magic in the pureness of nature, and soon, you'll be writing up a
storm. The nature may even conjure a memory from your childhood or your
past, and you can find yourself writing a poem about the nature and how it
relates to your own life.
* You don't have to be Emily Dickinson to write something meaningful about
the outdoors. The best part is, you don't have to show what you write to
a soul. Writing poems about nature can be a transcendent experience.

Go bird watching. Bird-watching is a fun activity that is perfect for
enjoying the outdoors for people who have patience and a real love for
nature. To go bird-watching, you'll need to find a wooded area, get some
binoculars and a notebook for taking notes, and a guidebook that can help
you identify the birds you're looking for. People who are serious
birdwatchers can spend hours in one place, in search of a certain rare
bird. However, this doesn't have to be you. You can take a more casual
approach and have fun exploring a new area, searching for birds at the same
time.
* This is also a great thing to with kids, to help them develop a love for
nature.

Go biking. Biking is a perfect way to get in touch with the outdoors. You
can take a long bike ride in an outdoorsy area by yourself, join a biking
club, or even enter a biking race. You'll really enjoy nature when you feel
the wind whipping at your face and see the greenery flashing by as you
pedal your feet. Biking is also a great way to get some exercise and to get
your heart rate up -- just make sure to wear a helmet. The best part about
biking is that it's also a form of transportation, so if you want to make
enjoyment of the outdoors a more regular part of your life, then you can
start biking to work or to run errands, if you can.

Go running. Running is the perfect way to enjoy the outdoors. If you get
into the zone, soon you'll only feel your feet hitting the pavement while
you connect with nature. Pick a path surrounded by greenery, or even
venture into trodden paths in the woods (as long as you know where you're
going), and soon you'll be feeling at one with the trees. If you really
want to enjoy nature, ditch the iPod and enjoy your surroundings; in spite
of what you may think, you'll still be able to enjoy your surroundings,
even if you're in the middle of an intense workout. Step outside to run
while the sun is out to commune with nature even more, and to get a little
bit of sun in the process.
* Many people believe that being out in the sunshine can actually make you
feel happier, so take advantage of this whenever you can.

Go swimming. Whether you're swimming in a lake, the ocean, or an outdoor
pool, swimming outside is another great way to enjoy the outdoors. Take a
swimming buddy, or go by yourself to enjoy the water for half an hour or
more. It can also be fun just to swim in place while talking to a good
friend, playing water volleyball, or even doing handstands instead of
swimming. If you're in the ocean, try body surfing on a wave and see how
far you can go. Swimming also happens to be an amazing full body workout --
what have you got to lose?

Spend a day at the beach. Just being at the beach is another amazing way to
enjoy the outdoors. You can set up a picnic, have some beers and listen to
some good music, play beach volleyball, or throw around a Frisbee. You can
also just read some magazines and get a great tan. Get creative and create
makeshift goals in between coolers and play some fun beach volleyball. You
can also bury someone in sand, or make a sandcastle or sand sculpture. It
can feel like a hassle to organize a group of people to go to the beach,
but you won't regret it once you're all there enjoying the sunshine.

Go camping. Camping is another great way to enjoy the outdoors. You'll need
to get your gear together, such as your tent, sleeping bags, bug spray,
food, water, and a bunch of other equipment, but it'll be worth it once you
pitch your tent and feel at one with nature. Obviously, it's best to go
with someone who knows what he or she is doing, so you're able to pitch
your tent, cook food, and avoid danger. Many people think "going rugged" is
not for them, but you'll see that this is a wonderful way to feel close to
nature!
* Sleeping in a tent really not your thing? You can go "glamping,"
checking into a very rural hotel in the evenings and spending the days
outdoors.

Go white water rafting. Depending on where you live, going white water
rafting down a river is one of the most fun and exhilarating experiences
you can have, and it's a wonderful way to really enjoy the outdoors. You'll
need a strong raft, oars, life vests, and a knowledgeable guide who can
help you traverse the choppy terrain. You can choose your level of
difficulty, so if you're nervous, you can go through pretty mild waters, at
first. The more adventurous can go rafting through more treacherous
territory once they have some experience.

Go skiing or snowboarding. More of a snow bunny? Then, if weather permits
-- or if you can go to a snowy place like Lake Tahoe at the right time --
then you should go skiing or snowboarding as a way to enjoy the outdoors.
If you're an absolute beginner, don't worry. There will be classes for you,
and lots of help. You'll feel at one with nature when you feel your skis
hitting the fresh, crisp snow. If you're not into winter athletics and
would rather just enjoy the beautiful snow, then you can skip the sporty
stuff and go straight for the hot chocolate and hot tub, or make a snow man
or snow angel instead.
* You can also try snow tubing. You'll still get the exhilarating feeling
of going down a snowy hill without any of the work. You'll just have to
get into the tube safely and then sit back and enjoy the ride.

Go horseback riding. Horseback riding is another great way to enjoy nature,
and anyone can do it with enough help and practice. Find someone who knows
what he's doing and sign up for a horseback riding tour. You'll get the
equipment you need and will be told how to steer and control the horse to
get it to do what you want. Beginners won't be taken too far out of their
comfort zones, and you won't have to steer a galloping horse down a
mountain on your first go-around. Being with a beautiful, powerful animal
like a horse in the outdoors is an amazing way to enjoy nature in its
purest form.

Have a picnic. Picnics are so underrated. There's something to be said for
packing a basket of tasty and simple food, a blanket, and sitting in the
great outdoors to enjoy it. You can have a picnic in the middle of a park
or venture further out into the woods. Just pack some simple sandwiches,
strawberries, cheese and crackers, or even a bottle of wine and plastic
glasses, and have at it. This can be a romantic surprise to plan for your
partner, or just a great way for you and your friends to enjoy yourselves
and maybe do some people watching in the process.

Go for a walk. People don't go on enough walks anymore. People tend to hide
in their cars or just to avoid this most basic form of human movement
because they think that if they're going from one place to another, they
might as well be driving or running. In fact, walking is one of the most
basic ways to enjoy the outdoors and to really notice the nature around
you. Don't bring your phone or your iPod, and just enjoy being alone with
your own thoughts and noticing the world around you. It can be a truly
meditative experience.
* Make a goal to make walking a bigger part of your life. Ask yourself
when you can substitute walking for driving or taking the bus or public
transportation.
* Reader Poll: We asked 605 wikiHow readers to tell us what activity they

Play an outdoor sport. There are so many great sports that can help you
enjoy the outdoors, such as tennis, soccer, basketball, badminton,
volleyball, or golf. Stop playing sports on your Wii and get some friends
together to play an organized game outdoors. You don't have to worry about
being great at it or making thing super competitive. Just make it all about
having fun with your friends and enjoying being outdoors.

Go fishing. Who says fishing has to only be for old men? Anyone can enjoy a
nice long morning of fishing, or even some afternoon fishing, if they know
what they're doing. It's really quite simple: you hook your bait, cast your
line, and wait for a fish to bite. Then all you've got to do is reel him
in. The hardest part can be waiting for a fish to bite, which can take a
while, but it's all part of the fun. Fishing is great with friends, because
you can just sit back and have long, philosophical conversations. If you
catch the right fish, you can even have it for dinner (and we don't mean as
a guest).
* Just make sure to look into local laws, wherever you are -- it's likely
that you'll need a fishing license to go fishing.
* It's best to be with someone who knows what they're doing. One of the
tricky parts is knowing how to untangle your line, or to remove the hook
from the fish after you get it out of the water -- this can get a bit
messy.

Have an outdoor barbecue. Want to enjoy the outdoors without exerting
yourself? One of the best ways to do it is to have an outdoor barbecue.
Tell each of your friends to bring something, and all you'll have to worry
about is finding a comfortable place to do it (ideally, your own backyard
or a park), and grilling those burgers, hot dogs, and vegetarian
what-have-yous. This can be a great way to be outside with friends without
having to do a lick of exercise.

Perform a play. This may sound silly, but it's so much fun! Get a few of
your friends out to a nice, sunny spot, and give each of them a copy of a
play -- or just a scene from one. Cast your characters, and have fun
performing the lines, whether you're channeling Shakespeare or Eugene
O'Neill. And heck, if you're really feeling creative, you can write a play
of your own and have your friends perform it. You can even memorize the
play and then perform it for others, even if you're just performing for a
small group of friends and family. The important thing is that you're
outside, breathing the fresh air!

Play in the rain. Who says you have to stay cooped up indoors when it's
raining? If you're adventurous, go running outside in the rain, play soccer
in the rain, or just go outside and spin around, feeling at one with it all
-- as long as there's no lightning, of course. If you don't want to go out
in the rain, you can also sit on a porch and enjoy a cup of tea and a good
book, listening to the patter of the rain hitting the roads, washing
everything anew.
* Some people find the rain to be sad and depressing, but that doesn't
have to be you. You should look at is a beautiful, replenishing
phenomenon.

Go stargazing. Stargazing can be a magical, not to mention a very romantic,
way to spend your time. All you need is a good spot where you can see the
sky, away from all the light pollution, a telescope, and a book or guide
that can help you recognize some of the constellations, such as the Big
Dipper, Cassiopeia, or Orion. You can even ditch the telescope or guidebook
and find a beautiful place where you can see the sky, away from the cities
and all of the noise that comes with them. If you're with a romantic
partner, a bottle of red wine can help you see the stars with even more
clarity.

* Question
How do I make myself go outside more?
Community Answer
Lots of time is spent on screens and technology. Cutting back on it for just
30 minutes a day can be healthier and give you more outdoor time!
