Just got in from Orlando. We thought about going to the beach. Folks down there are really worried about what the oil spill will do. Even in Orlando - since a lot of the theme park crowd come for both beaches and amusement parks.

We are heading down to Destin end of June, HOPEFULLY, if we can't go there we are heading to Myrtle beach instead. I've never been to Desin so we are really hoping things (oil spill) will stay clear down there. Other than that it was last August went to St. Augustine. Really nice town, I'd like to spend more time there one day. Also I try to make a trip to Stienhatchee fishing at least once a year, no beach there though.
Hey anyone know why I can't change my settings. Tried to upload pic. but it won't take.
Look at SBG FORUM then under FREQUENTLY ASKED OUESTIONS.

I was just at the beach today, usually get there once or twice a week. Set up a chair, got out my book to read in the shade of a tree along the coast of Mosquito Lake. Beautiful day to relax by the beach!
Hey, you never said what kind of beach! Despite the name, Mosquito Lake is great, and only 5 miles from my home. Usually get my kayak out there at least every week.
If you mean ocean type beach, we were at Indian Shores FL (Clearwater) two years ago in February. It was unusually warm, in the 80's that week. Five years ago we were in South Florida - Ft. Lauderdale and Key West, and a cruise to the Bahama's. -

While we live at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina we only get on the actual beach front once or twice a year.

The wife and I will be enjoying the sun in the Miami area this weekend! I have some 100SPF for my head! We were in the Daytona Beach area for July 4th, 2009.

Salisbury Beach, last Labor Day. Was my first (and so far only) dome burn - had to stop shaving my head for four days to allow the soreness to subside - totally sucked!
We used to go to Salisbury Beach when I was a kid. Also, we'd go to Old Orchard Beach and Hampton Beach. Every summer we spend 3 weeks in MA. So, then we go to York Beach, ME and Nantasket on the South Shore. Sometimes we manage to hit Hampton Beach as well. -

Beach? Who can like the beach? I spent my mid-teen years in Pensacola and often was at the beach; then I matured.
Beach? How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways:
Relentless sun and scanty shade
Stickiness from suntan lotion before wetting
Salt-stickiness from after a frolic in the surf
Sand in intimate crevices
Pensacola also had Portuguese Men o' War to add "spice" to the experience
Unhealthy food at concessions (there was a place at P'cola beach in the 50s/60s that served wonderful, grease-soaked fried chicken, "The Firehouse")
And, of course, the prospect of future skin cancers (of which I have had some removed).
I now live as close to a barrier beach as I did in Pensacola, but much more northern--New York to be precise, and it must be a decade since I dipped myself in brine. -
