Thanks to their popularity among the world ' s rich and famous, not to mention their indulgent portrayal in more than a couple films and TV shows, beach getaways have taken on a rather luxurious reputation. And with the assumption of luxury, of course, comes the assumption of price.
You can ' t blame the everyday tourist for his or her perception. After all, the flippant excess of drinks topped with two umbrellas, a slice of orange, four fragrant rose petals, and a whole kiwi gives the impression that at the beach you have to pay for a bunch of extraneous ornamentation.
However, beach getaways can be surprisingly economical for one simple reason: at the beach, you don ' t have to spend. Unless traveling to high - end resort areas, beaches are free to use. You are more or less just paying for the accommodations. This is a stark contrast from city sightseeing vacations in which you can be sure to fork over hard - earned cash at every turn. Museums, tours, professional sports, concerts, theme parks – the cost adds up quickly.
It can ' t be denied that there are plenty of things you could buy on the beach – food, drinks, sports rentals and equipment – but you also have the economical option of entertaining yourself rather than paying someone or something else to do it for you.
Here we ' ll provide an extensive look into popular beach destinations, what types of activities are best suited to each beach, and also make some lodging recommendations for each location.
