Or are you cruising the road with a buddy? Are you going to be staying at a motel or a fancy resort? All these and many more are factors when planning a beach vacation. Were you want to go plays a vital role in your plans, east coast, west coast, the gulf, all with a different vibe and feel.

So next time your craving some salt water fun, don’t forget that the beach is only a few preparation steps away. And don’t forget the sun block.
