Or, for those boring old manual clocks, you will have to put them forward an hour yourself. Alternatively, feel free to save time now and manually add an hour in your head every time you check the time, then after a few weeks get around to actually changing them, then spend a few weeks confused about whether you changed them or not and if you still need to add an hour and checking the time on your phone to make sure.
When ever I would go camping at the beach in summer, I would get up earlier in the morning and go for a walk. It was still fresh, not too hot and the beach wasn’t crowded by day-trippers.
This is the correct way to get an extra hour of sunlight at the beach in summer.
I assume that you go to the beach in summer to get away from the Rat Race of 9-5, peak hour traffic and other artificial time constraints.
Do not become beholden to a clock to tell you that it is time to get up. If it is time to get up, get up!
