Where are there good, affordable beach vacation destinations on the East Coast?

June 82010

My boyfriend and I are looking to take a vacation somewhere there is a beach on the East Coast (can be on a lake. doesn’t have to be on the ocean). We are looking to go mid-July. We live in NY and were hoping to go somewhere that we don’t have to drive more than 5 – 6 hours. We are also looking for somewhere affordable, where we can find hotels in mid-July around $200 per night, ideally on the beach or close walking distance. Can anyone suggest specific locations, or even specific hotels that might be nice and affordable?

I dont really remember details, but when I was a kid my parents used to rent a nice condo out in Cape May, New Jersey. It was some of the best vacations of my life. It was literally a five minute walk from the rental house to the beach. If you want a nice, relaxed vacation spot, I’d suggest looking up Cape May.

My friend is feeling really down and really needs a weekend away, but he’s really busy right now, and a bit broke. How can I set up a beach scene at my house to make it almost kind of feel like a vacation?

fill your house with water.
bring some coconut trees and sand.
and have lots of fun.
remember to learn swiming first. ok

Where can I go for an inexpensive beach vacation during Christmas holidays?

April 272010

I want a 3 – 4 day trip where I’m in the sun and have access to a beach. I want to pay less than $500 (including airfare). Suggestions?
I live in Philly and willing to travel anywhere.

Well it depends on where you live. Airfare from Atlanta to Miami is $240. Airfare from Montana to Miami is $600. I could say "Florida", but if you live in Montana then it obviously won’t be cheaper than $500.

….all depends on where you live.

It is supposed to rain the entire weekend during my family’s beach vacation. Any suggestions?

March 282010

I can cancel reservations with a 48 hour notice and get my deposit back. However, I’ve taken off work for a 3 day weekend, and my kids were super excited about going to the beach. There is nothing else to do that is fun in our destination town, and it is going to rain in every drivable city nearby here in my state. Any suggestions? We need a vacation desperately. Postponing until summer won’t work because I am due in June. We don’t want to take a newborn to the beach. Thanks!

take lots of board games and craft stuff plus ur gums boots and rain coats
the beach is a very differnt place while raining imaginge the crippy crawles the kids could see.
collect some shells etc then make crafts out of them.
good chance to bond.

Sunny beach vacation in the continental USA?

February 182010

I am dreaming of a sunny, warm beach vacation in the continental USA. My ideal place would be someplace warm without a lot of people within three hours drive of an airport. I would like an affordable vacation rental home or bungalow (no motels) on or near the beach. I was thinking somewhere along the Caribbean – maybe Texas or Florida. Any ideas?
Oops, I meant Gulf of Mexico. Has anyone been to Galvenston, Texas? Is it pretty? Is it mello?

What is your favorite beach vacation spot in Florida?

January 192010

We go to Florida every summer and I love the beach. We don’t like something too crowded or alot of attractions. We keep things simple, like laying out & swimming all day. We do enjoy going to nice restaurants at night. We usually go to Pensacola Beach. Just thinking about changing things up a little. =]
Thanks

Treasure Island or St. Petersburg beaches on the Gulf of Mexico. The beaches are large and I’ve never experienced overcrowding…and each area has great restaurants. Have a great summer!

any suggestions for a good beach vacation spot?

January 92010

My fiance and i want to go on vacation for about a week this december… we were looking into hawaii but it seems like it would be expensive to stay there (not the travel package, just the food and activities). if anyone has any experience in hawaii or a better suggestion, any input would be great. we just want to relax and be lazy somewhere with a great beach, preferably somewhere with a bar that is not too expensive to eat/do stuff. thanks : )
ps we are 21 and 23 years old
