Guide to Beaches around the World

Don’t worry about breaking the bank just to have some summer fun. Below are the best beaches to visit by state that will surely give you everything you were hoping for.

Before you head out to your beach destination, here are a few things your should bring:

• Sunscreen and Chapstick – Everyone has seen the sun burnt man who slept out under the sun for 8 hours. Don’t fall victim to thinking it won’t happen to you.
• Beach Towels and Camping Chair – Sand can get quite hot during the afternoon so having a towel or chair to sit on greatly enhances your enjoyment.
• Flip Flops – There is nothing worse than having sand in your shoes. Bring some flip flops so you can rinse them off after leaving the beach.
• Sunglasses – Although this one seems like a no brainer, we often see people forget their shades and have to use whatever they brought as a sun blocker.
• Snacks and Water – Although most beaches have amenities within walking distance, it’s always a good idea to have a backup plan just in case.
• Spare Change – Often forgotten about, if you plan on parking at or near the beach, chances are you will have to go feed the meter every couple hours or risk being towed.
