July 2010: Summer is here and the Atlantic ocean is at a nice temperature for swimming. With the economy still down and so much unemployment, east coast vacation resorts, cottages, and condos are being rented at bargain prices. A east coast beach vacation can be had very inexpensively, particularly if you are open to camping, although the same economy fills the east coast state park campgrounds quickly.

 Our first choice, as many years, is and has been the Williamsburg, Va area. Lots to see, but many crowds on July 4th weekend. For inexpensive east coast vacation lodging, check the used time share market and rental. Many people have maintenance fees they can't really afford and are renting cheap.

As to tar balls... the mess has not hit the loop current and the east coast beaches are all nice.

If Williamsburg is not convenient to you and you are a bit farther south, Charleston is a great destination.  Farther south, we can suggest Tybee Island. Savannah also is great.

We now at end of July have just added a brand new East CoastVacation destination, easily accessible by car from any location on the east coast with only a one day drive for about anyone.

The Atlantic is getting warmer  for swimming to say the least, but there's much coastal vacation fun NOT involving getting into the ocean. But you can have fun NEAR the ocean. Have you ever heard of "The Treasure Coast"? This is a part of the Fla coast from around Vero Beach to Sebastian.. and it's called this because a major Spanish treasure fleet, carrying literally tons of gold, silver, and jewels, and comprised of 5 ships, all floundered and sunk just off the coast during a storm as the fleet was headed back to Spain with all this. Just "why" they were was an intersting story. You can learn a whole lot about this af the state museum at Sebastian Inlet (admission only $1!) then you can walk the beach and maybe find your own gemstone or reals. Tip: bring a GOOD metal detector and plan this visit after a strong offshore wind or storm. Hundreds of people STILL do this every week and find treasure!

We've now added a blog to this site, but we do like to keep it updated with fresh content.. and to sorta get through this little East Coast Vacation dry spell.. we've added what might seem to be totally unrelated.. but isn't.. a page on Las Vegas! Read it to see an exceptional bargain and find out HOW a LasVegas vacation can relate. OK.. we'll continue with some of last months content..

Of course.. we invite you to log on to the blog mentioned above and leave a comment.

Now I want to share a little tip on budget vacationing. Admitedly, it's not for everyone, but there are so many nice bed and breakfasts that can be stayed in for about 30% less money than a nice hotel... and if its the same budget as a Tier B hotel/motel, you'll probably enjoy it so much more. Then for activitiy, forget all the commercial full price venues... head to the local Chamber of Commerce. So many times these places not only can point you toward what is happening, but they have discount cupons and deals not in the conventional tourist literature. You can really save.

As to your lodging, if you have never stayed at a nice vacation condo, once you do, you'll never want to go back to just a hotel other than for a room in transit. Now if you own a time share (and we do not recommend that.. or at least the purchase on the retail new market), you can rent timeshare condos many, many, many places on line. You have so much room, a nice kitchen, and usually all the amenities.

Back to the Miami area for a moment... if you want the beach and plan on swimming, thicken your blood! The water temp was only around 70Deg, but.. if you just want water and some nice beach, but don't care as much about the waves, check out the water and beaches on Biscayne Bay! It's so much more shallow and the water is warmer.

This site is here for you, and the best way to enjoy and use it is to pick a location from the left. In many cases, as your web master we've been there and the entry page shares our experience or recommendations. Other resources on the page are commercial ads, some offering discounts.

As I ramble here, my thoughts have been to convert this to a blog format. It will take some time, and we'll be transisitioning gradcually with the blog first being in it's own directory.... after .biz/blog.

We'll give you some chance for feedback then.

East Coast Vacations come in so many flavors from winter to sub tropics. I don't have to tell anyone about the New England or Aridondack Area skiing. New England ski resorts are offering bargains this year due to the economy.

Going a little further south, plan a stop in Miami and visit Vizcaya if you have not all ready done so. (http://www.vizcayamuseum.org/  ). You'll think you ended up in Italy.. and it's very inexpensive.

Then truck on down to the Keys. Key Largo is first and has some great seafood and scuba diving as well as spectacular sunsets.. and you don't have to go all the way down to Key West.. but even that and the museums, including the shipwrecks are worth it. Enjoy!

EAST COAST VACATIONS can be enjoyed year round, and we hope this web site, updated at least seasonally, will be a really great tool for you to enjoy yours!

An East Coast Vacation Beachwalk at Sunset

Your East Coast Vacation can span an entire generation from starting your marriage and family and enjoying east coast beaches with your kids, east coast amusement parks such as Busch Gardens at Va Beach. As your family grows and possibly your leisure, you can enjoy Myrtle Beach Golfing, or deep sea fishing, or kit flying at Kitty Hawk. History abounds as you can visit numerous lighthouses. Like to Gamble? Atlantic City Gamlbling is famous, but there's many gambling ships and cruises, many available virtually free and you can find these in Fla and other places. Quiet beaches to boardwalks and the "tourist" of Myrtle Beach are all here. Great seafood is available anywhere. New England Clam chowder to accompany Whale Watching, or you can watch dolphins in Fla. It never ends. This page has offered the experiences of the writer and his family who started their travels and vacations in the early 60s. Certainly not the ONLY place this now retired Air Force Officer and his wife have vacationed, but certainly one of the most favored that continues to be visited, and now returned to with grown children and grandchildren. Nothing quite as nice as a nice large beach house with wrap around porch that the family gathers on after a day of swimming, biking, hiking, golf, plantation visiting, historic site visiting and all the things there are to do. Put yourself in this picture! Your East Coast vacation WILL last a lifetime.
