We have another beach report out ahead of the weekend. Don't forget to drop in to a yoga class Saturday morning with yogaoutside.tv.
We just visited 7/25 - 7/28, and the beach was great! We do not have a 4x4, so it was nice to drive right on the beach. We parked very close to the entrance and then backed down towards the water. No crowds was the best part!
Had a great time this past week, no problems!!
I think I love your shirt!
