Beach Tips Part 2

Aight so I hope ya'll are getting really excited for Spring Break, as for me I can't wait. I already told ya'll about what your gonna need to bring to the beach. You know stuff like sunscreen (and how you need to use it, which you definitely will) and chairs along with a radio. Some of ya'll also like to bring floats to the beach, which I recommend for little kids (who wouldn't?) but the big ones that adults lay on I would not recommend actually having them in the ocean. Why you ask, because your out there on your float, drifting in and out of sleep but the problem is that you have nothing to hang on to, so you end up way too far away from the shore. In the pool, they're not too bad as long as they're not huge, you gotta be considerate of other people too. Goggles come in handy, it's really cool to look under the water, and I would also recommend a net for some scooping fun. Being on vacation down here is a good time to learn how to skim, which the waves don't need to be up for. Don't have a skim board? Our Orange Beach Winn Dixie actually sell them, crazy ain't it? Our Walmart usually carries this stuff too. Those boards are just for someone who is just learning how to skim and won't be near a beach when they go back home. Or you can always get a boogie board, those are really fun! If you want a nicer and more expensive skim board, then I would recommend going to Blonde John's. It's right off Beach Road, where you turn by the Hangout. Turn into the Oyster Bar and it's one of those little shops in there. Meanwhile, hope you have a good time down here and keep reading for more in the know local stuff.
