The idea of a beach vacation is to lose your cares in the waves, on the water or settled blissfully atop sun-warmed sand. But you don’t want to lose your savings in the process. Though beachgoing itself is usually free, enjoying access means finding accommodations and activities within your means. Whether you like your waves salty or fresh, the following beach towns offer free and affordable variations on the perks of vacationing by the water.

According to AARP’s latest travel trends survey, cost remains a barrier for travelers 50-plus. It’s key to find ways to stretch your budget. Lodging in each town varies, depending on when you go and how long you stay, but prices range from $100 to $400 a night.

So glad I now live in Virginia. While living in Florida for many years, EVERYONE "suddenly" remembered you when Summer Vacation Time arrived.  🙄

And of course, NO offer to "help" with the ADDITIONAL electric use or food.

Take care,
