I recently discovered that World Goth Day is a thing, but Goths at the beach is a twist I hadn’t expected. Silly me.
It turns out there are Goth beach events and barbecues and beach toys and swimwear and more.
My recollection of Goth culture from the past was that people into the Goth aesthetic tend not to be into fitness activities. Maybe things have changed. Maybe things haven’t changed and some were always into fitness but trapped by the stereotype.
Either way, I hope they have a fabulous time at the beach tomorrow.
As from the Goth Beach Day at Britannia Beach in Ottawa shows a woman in a black dress, wearing sunglasses and a wide-brimmed black hat. She is sitting on a sandy beach, holding a large black umbrella.

There is a Toronto based band that posts a series called “Goths in ungothly places”. Much hilarity ensues.
