Coney Island Beach & Boardwalk
My advice is to pack your own beach gear—like a towel and umbrella. Rentals can add up, and finding a good spot can be tricky during peak hours, especially around 1 PM.
Check out the food options off the boardwalk. While Nathan's hot dogs are iconic, I found some delicious eateries just a few blocks away that are way cheaper and have better variety
Clearwater Beach
Haulover Park
Venice Beach Boardwalk
Just a heads up, parking can be a nightmare! I suggest using the city parking lots rather than street parking to avoid tickets and towing headaches.
I think it’s a good idea to bring a reusable water bottle. Water fountains are available, and you’ll save money instead of buying drinks all day.
Dockweiler Beach
Bring your own beach chairs and umbrellas if you can. Rental prices can add up quickly, and it’s more comfy when you have your own stuff. I regretted not bringing mine and ended up sitting on the sand
Pack a picnic! It's a great way to save money on food and enjoy the beach atmosphere. I found a nice spot and just relaxed while munching away instead of spending a lot at nearby cafes.
Gulf Shores Public Beach
My advice is to arrive by 9 AM... The beach gets crowded fast, and you want to grab a good spot before the rush
Panama City Beach
Bring your own cooler to the beach! I filled mine with snacks and drinks, and it saved me loads of cash instead of buying overpriced stuff from vendors.
Magens Bay Beach
Try to arrive by 9 AM to snag a good parking spot and enjoy the beach before it gets super crowded. By mid-morning, finding a spot can feel like a struggle!
Crandon Park
Malibu Beach
My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks... The beach prices can be super high! I regretted not packing a cooler when I saw a bottle of water for $5
