giraldi02 470 Posted July 22, 2016 I live 12 miles away from it. I rarely ever go to the beach. Bunch of tourists there. When I used to go to the beach, the rare occasion that it was, I'd bring a book and that's about it. Now I just stay inland. Less wind, less people, less worries.

BunnysBastatrds 1,918 Posted July 22, 2016 I love going to the beach. Drinking beer all day and getting to look at the eye candy is what vacationing is all about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thornton Melon 544 Posted July 22, 2016 I'm ~35 minutes from the beach, and I couldn't imagine living one minute further away. The annual family beach vacation starts tomorrow....4 weeks. I'll commute back and forth to work the first week, then 3 weeks of sun, sand, water, food, booze and general good times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted July 22, 2016 I grew up in Daytona Beach but rarely went until I was in high school. Even in high school I really didn't want to go. I hate that sand gets everywhere and I would have to wash my truck every damn time I went! Still live near the beach in south Florida but rarely go to chill in the sand. I spend a lot more time at the pool now. I don't even understand this, you are a strange bird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GobbleDog 816 Posted July 22, 2016 That bloom is some nasty $hit. Been headlining on the news for weeks. There was talk of a popular island being shut down in Palm Beach County during 4th of July weekend due to trace amounts of algae being found. It was clear the next day. Yeah I watched a lot of east coast news before the trip and it was all they were talking about. They showed mats of dead algae and said the stink was overwhelming. The RV camp we stayed at was completely empty and the bait shop owner said we were only his 30th customer in 30 days. So... we worried it would we might not catch anything. However, we didn't smell anything and the only algae we saw was a small mist of it on the top of the St. Lucie River - looked more like pollen. And we TORE UP the snook. I guess we must have went right as everything was clearing up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sho Nuff 719 Posted July 24, 2016 Yes...enjoyed the lake growing up (and the past 2 days). But white sands and crystal blue water of the beach is awesome. Have had some of my best drinking days at the beach too...rarely woke up hungover and was ready to go again. (that was pre-kids though) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mighty_thor 115 Posted July 24, 2016 Grew up near the beach. Mom and Aunt used to pile a bunch of the kids into the back of the station wagon and spend the day at Nantaskett Beach (about a 15 minute car ride). Also spent a lot of time on Cape Cod. Always loved the beach and I have a million family memories of days on the beach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love going to the pier in Cocoa and going to the bar Coconuts, focking awesome. Anyone that visits Florida and doesn't do that on a weekend is missing out.

GuardBum 73 Posted July 25, 2016 Ocean beach is cool. I'm only 30 mins from the coast but I rarely go. I prefer a good lake beach though. Floating around, not having the salt of the northeast waters all up in your face and maybe catching some shade under a tree line is preferred. Swimming or beaching in Florida or the Caribbean is just a completely different experience though. Myrtle Beach was nice too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DankNuggs 305 Posted July 26, 2016 Spent a week at a cape cod beach a few weeks ago, but the pool just got a bar which raised its profile a bunch. Less hassle going to the pool if its just for an hour or two. I like both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
