Beach Camping Adventure : How to Get Ready
Pitching a tent at the beach is like combining your two favorite ice cream flavors in one cone.
You get to enjoy the sea breeze, frolic in the sand and go surfing. During the night you can enjoy engaging conversation with your buddies at the campfire.
Check out the beach campgrounds in or near your area to see which one best suits you and the activities you want to do. Do you plan on bringing your bicycle to go for a ride along the shore? Is there a campfire site so you can bring your guitar or bongo to play some music at night? How far is the campground to the beach, is it of walking distance? If you’re planning to bring your fur buddy, is the campground accommodating to fur companions as well?
