It’s a can’t-miss combo: Take a beautiful stretch of America’s destination shoreline, add an activity only this spot can host, and you’ve got an experience worthy of your bucket list that doesn’t require you to cross an ocean.

According to The Senior List, a resource and reviews website for older adults, 63 percent of people 50 and older are interested in bucket-list travel. Plus, new experiences are proven mood-boosters that stimulate the brain and create milestone memories in the process.

Do you have any FAVORITE beaches?

I am now in Virginia, but for years enjoyed the launches in Brevard County (Florida).

Lol, of course you had to get there REALLY EARLY with your chair & cooler.

Then "cry" IF it got scrubbed, which was often back then.

Moved to Virginia in 2015.

Have NOT made it to the "famous" Virginia Beach as yet.
