The post This Is Why You Should Take Surfing Lessons on Your Next Vacation appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>There are so many reasons to sign up for surfing lessons, but one of the greatest ones is to simply challenge yourself. When was the last time you tried something new that you knew you would be bad at in the beginning? If you’re like the rest of the world, it has probably been a while. Surfing is a great way to let yourself fail and get back up. You will build resilience, and when you finally stand up on that board, you will feel so much better because you truly worked hard to get there.
There’s also a calming aspect to sitting on a board waiting for the perfect wave. Even if you spend the whole lesson without success in standing up, you’ll walk away feeling proud of yourself for trying and rejuvenated from being in flow with the water.

]]>Say No to Sandy Sandwiches
Sandwiches are an easy thing to take to the beach as they don’t require cutlery and are always filling. The ingredients between the bread are the star of the show, but the last thing you want is to have that tomato slide out onto the sand. Instead, chop up all your fillings; this will keep everything where it’s meant to be, and you’ll get all the flavors with each bite.
Keep It Clean
Littering on the beach is a big no-no, but it can also be tricky to find a trash can. Make your own by taking an empty cleaning wipes container and filling it with rolled-up trash bags. Whip one out when you need and throw away your garbage responsibly.
Leave the Beach Where it is
Going to the beach is super fun. Taking sand home with you, less fun. Make a DIY sand remover by filling an old sock with talcum powder and tying a knot. Then, run it along any areas of your body covered with sand and watch it magically come off!

]]>Choose your accommodations wisely
While staying right on the beach may sound enticing, opting for accommodations even a block or two away can save you a significant amount of money per night. Hotels and vacation rentals located slightly inland often offer lower rates while still providing easy access to the beach. You’ll also have the added benefit of a quieter space to return to at the end of the day.
Wait until the end of the season
If you have flexibility in your travel dates, consider waiting until the end of the summer to take your vacation. As the peak tourist season winds down, many travel destinations start offering discounted rates on accommodations, flights, and attractions. By planning your trip in late August or early September, you can take advantage of these deals and enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere with smaller crowds.
(@oceancitymaryland)Embrace budget-friendly activities
Instead of splurging on expensive tourist attractions, look for free or low-cost options such as hiking trails, public parks, or local festivals. For paid activities like private beaches or amusement parks, check if group deals or weekly passes are available at a discount. We also suggest trying small, local eateries or street food over high-end restaurants. These tend to be more affordable and will also give you a taste of the local culture.

]]>Comfort is Key
No matter what anyone says, your bathing suit has to be comfortable. Basically, it should feel like a second skin. Look for soft, stretchy fabrics that hug your curves without squeezing the life out of you.
Take Note of Tan Lines
There is a hot chance that you’ll be catching some sun while in your swimsuit. While it is super important to always wear sunscreen, going a little golden can make you glow. Remember that only the exposed parts of your body will be darker, so if you want to avoid bizarre tan lines, consider the design of the suit and if you’re down with an abstract shape caused by that cut-out.
There’s Nothing Cooler Than Confidence
Whether you opt for a one-piece; bikini; tankini; or full-body suit, own it! Choose the color, cut, and pattern that makes you feel confident. Embrace your body, celebrate your style, and strut your stuff like the beautiful beach babe you are.

]]>Wear Sunscreen
You know how the famous song goes, right? So, it’s not only that “everybody’s free to wear sunscreen”, everybody has to wear sunscreen. Choose a reliable brand with at least 30 SPF and make sure to reapply every two hours.
Wear a Hat
Protecting your face and scalp from the sun is extremely important, and with bucket hats back in fashion, it shouldn’t be too hard to do. But if you’re not into that trend, a plain-old cap or a stylish wide brim will do just fine.
Drink Plenty of Water
Not orange juice, not diet coke, and not piña colada—water. The recommended amount of water you should consume when you spend a few straight hours in the sun is one glass of water every 20 minutes or so. You got this!

]]>We’ve had to push back our vacations a lot this year and with travel finally becoming an option and companies reopening their borders, it makes sense that people are choosing to take beach vacations later in the year.
“This year, families have taken longer vacations to make up for lost time and because their work or school schedules have been more flexible. Having experienced the booking spree for vacation homes this summer, travelers may also be taking their beach or lake vacation later because they just couldn’t get the house or condo they wanted in July or August,” Vrbo’s travel expert Melanie Fish told the news outlet.
Vacationing in the fall means fewer crowds and cheaper prices. The weather is still really nice, and it’s even a bit more bearable since it’s not as humid and sticky. In regards to where people are vacationing, hotspots include Hawaii, the Southeast like the Outer Banks, North Carolina and Hilton Head, South Carolina.
