Beach Tips Part 1

For all of ya'll out there that our about to come visit our little town, I gotta say...the weather is absolutely positively awesome! There's just no beating it, during the spring is the best time to come down here because the humidity is lower than it is in the summer and the breeze coming off the shores are so nice. I was thinking about all the out-of-towners that come down here, or what we locals fondly like to refer to as "shoobies" (because they wear shoes on the beach) and I suddenly realized that some of ya'll probably have never really been to a beach...so it makes sense to me that I offer a local's guide to essential beach gear. Of course there's the obvious stuff like sunscreen, the most common mistake shoobies make is that they think if they put it on, they'll still be super white - WRONG. If you're never in the sun you need to put on at least SPF thirty, then gradually work your way into tanning oil, and when you buy tanning oil it's gotta have some SPF in it, and get the kind that says bronzer...it'll make you way darker. Then what are you gonna lay on? Thankfully we have beach service down here, look for an umbrella that's bright orange, or an American flag one and those guys can hook you up with a chair. You'd rather have your own chair to keep? Head to Walmart, they sell beach chairs, or you can always go with the traditional towel. One thing I'd suggest is a radio...you wanna catch some rays right? You can alternate your tunes with the gentle sound of the ocean breeze for a perfect day. Read my blog for more tips about beachtime, see ya later!
