The beaches of California sit mostly empty throughout the winter, except for the few tourists who sunbathe, surfers who stroll, photographers who take photos, and the warm exceptional days where people come in droves. So why have the beaches become so popular now, and it’s not even summer, nor is school out?
People are citing the economy as the driving force of high springtime beach attendance. Just as you plant your tomatoes (should be in already, they say), what’s next on your agenda?
If you don’t have a beach on your list, maybe you better get going. We have noticed attendance at the beach, at the state parks, and even national forests is increasing dramatically each day. Hotel prices have risen, and the tourism specialists are hoping you will let go of you earnings for a summer vacation or two.
Tips for the road in heading to a beach: Sunblock! Change for parking! Patience! Get there early on weekends!
