39 Awkward Vacation Photos You Absolutely Should See

Look at that face! Clearly, this stingray has no malicious intent whatsoever. It just wanted a hug! Apparently, the one that attacked Steve Irwin was more of an exception, because most stingrays just seem to be smiling and happy to pose for the camera. What’s not to love?

It’s clear that this guy is a real gentleman! We wish him all the best, but interspecies relationships rarely work out—especially when those you’re trying to woo are scared to death! We humans are right to be wary of befriending creatures that could kill us with a sting.

You’re either having a great day at the beach or a terrible one, depending on who you are in this photo. Remember: crime doesn’t pay, even when you’re at the beach! Now we’re curious what kind of beach-related crime this dude might have committed.

This is a vacation photo that probably won’t be framed and displayed! Or who knows? Maybe it will! We imagine the ladies in this picture are probably finding it funnier than the man. Sometimes you’re just in the right place at the right time.

Is this woman sitting next to a black hat on the beach, or has she mastered the art of levitation? The beach might be a magical place, but we’re pretty sure it’s not *that* magical! Or maybe we’re just going to the wrong beaches – you never know!

While this is a clever composition for a photo, the longer you look at it, the more the image loses its magic. You really only get the effect when you take a quick glance. Still, this is definitely an image that people will remember in the years to come.

When a kid is armed to the teeth with a water gun, no swimmer is safe. This lady may think she’s enjoying her day, soaking up the sun, and without a care in the world. But it looks like she’s in for a rude (and wet) awakening. Hopefully, this kid isn’t too accurate!

However, the kid might be in for a rude surprise of his own without even realizing it because when Mom’s angry at him, no kid is safe! It’s obvious the kid’s plan wasn’t thought out down to the last detail. Someone’s vacation is about to be ruined… or maybe even both of theirs!
