What to Take to the Beach
Saturday, November 12th, 2011 /

Before you head out for the beach you need to make sure you take the right gear.

Swim Trunks-

It seems obvious but a lot of people pack cuts offs or shorts. It is best to use swim bottoms made for swimming. You can risk embarrassing exposure if your shorts fall off as you emerge from the water and they are water logged.

Travel Clothes- Again this seems obvious but what if the car breaks down or you have to stop at a truck stop to use the bathroom? That nifty thong that got all that attention at the water will stop you in your tracks going in any non beach public place.

Blankets and Sheets- Towels are best used for drying off. Blankets and sheets can be used to cover a larger area to lay out or eat. Sheets are good because you can easily shake them out before you put them in the car. Sand tends to stick to textured towels and blankets..

Aloe Vera –

The faster a sun burn is treated the better. It can also be used for after sun moisturizer.

Lip Balm- Get a lip balm with a sun screen. We can forget about our lips but sea salt , wind , and water can chap them as easily as winter cold.

Frisbees and Toys- Pick toys kids and active adults can enjoy on the beach. You will have a better chance of getting to read that summer novel if your kids are not bored .This applies to the big kids (adults) who are not inclined to sun.

Long Sleeved Shirts- These can provide extra protection from the sun. They can also take off the early morning or evening chill if you plan to be at the beach early or late.

Sunglasses-

Go for sun glasses that provide the UV protection you need. Again they are great to have the kids wear if you can get them to leave them on.

Sunscreen – You will need at least a SPF 15 to have any protection at all. Most folks will want a much higher number to avoid looking like a lobster at the end of the day. Reapply sun screen to kids often as they are most active and in and out the water.

Beach Umbrella. –

They now have lots styles to choose from. You should try to find a free standing umbrella or one large enough to tilt on its side to provide shade when you need it.

 Hats –

If you cannot work up the nerve to wear a hat on the street a beach hat is a great chance to release your inner hat diva. Small kids benefit from the extra protection from the sun and sand hats afford if you can get them to leave them on.

How to be More Physically Active Without Trying
Friday, November 11th, 2011 /

Walk everywhere

It’s a great thing to be able to walk everywhere. If you live near a shopping center, a park, or your work, consider walking instead of driving. You can even discontinue your driving and it will aver you a lot of money. I have discontinued my driving and it helps me so much. I save plenty of money from insurance, gas, maintenance, and police tickets. I save at least $ 500 per month from driving. I walk across the shopping center and to my work and I love it. I have really nice legs now because of it and I really enjoy the fresh air in the morning and the chance to see my neighbors.

Take the bus

You can save money and get a little active by walking and catching up with the bus too if it’s a long distance.

Walk your dog

Your dog is a great partner for working out. You should walk your dog everywhere. Walk them in the morning and then in the evening. You can lose some calories this way and have some fun with your dogs and your neighbors too.

Walk your kid’s stroller

If you have children, you can still get active by running or walking their strollers. If you have a stroller, you can push it during your workout. If your kids are big enough, you can get them to work out with you too.

Play sports

Sports can help you lose calories. You should play sports whenever you can so you can lose weight.

Go for a swim

Swimming is a great way to lose weight. Go for a swim during the summer and get to a gym too if you don’t have a pool at home. Swimming is fun and easy to do. It’s not like rigorous work out session.

Walk at the beach

The beach is an excellent place to walk and stroll and lose some weight. You should walk the beach whenever you can to lose weight. If you live next to the beach, you should walk the beach to help you lose weight and get physical.

Planning For The Best Beach Vacation
Thursday, November 10th, 2011 /

A warm, tropical beach vacation is one of the most relaxing holiday and fun, you can take. There are some steps you can take to ensure your vacation is as fun as you want. This article will discuss some things you can do to make your stay fantastic. A little advance planning can go a long way when you take a walk. Once you have determined your destination, it is a good idea to spend some time reading about the many opportunities in the field.

Check forums and travel blogs on the precise location, and print pages useful that will be useful when you are on your way. The first thing to consider is your sleeping. There are many different options, I personally prefer to find a bed and layout style breakfast that is walking distance from the beach.

This allows the relaxation of the car without a fight traffic every day. You can read reviews of accommodation for travel sites to help you find a good place. Another topic you should research ahead of time is eating options. Many times, you will find tips for reading online, or contact the hotel staff are some good restaurants. Some of the best restaurants are not known, so that bloggers and forums can be so good.

It is also a good idea to plan a series of different activities to participate in when you traveled. Most people head to the beach to think that simply relax on the sand, but I get bored after 2 or 3 days of laying around. Hours of fun activities, such as a boat trip, snorkeling, beach games, or anything else that you can enjoy the beach.

The Best Nude Beach In The Caribbean-Orient Beach St Martin Caribbean Island
Wednesday, November 09th, 2011 /

The Orient Beach on the French side of St. Martin is not the only nude beach located on this island however it is probably the most well known nude beach in the Caribbean.

The beach is located on the south side of Orient Bay. Nearby you will also find the “Club Orient” hotel where you can rent rooms. At the Orient beach you will find that it is split into two sections including a “regular” section and a “clothing optional” section of the beach. You will regularly see nude people in both sections even though they are mainly on the “clothing optional” section. So if nudity offends you then I highly recommend that you stay away from this beach.

The average temperature of St. Martin ranges from an average high of 83-88 degrees with an average low of 75-80 degrees. An excellent chart with temperature information on St. Martin can be found at http://www.usatoday.com/weather/climate/wstmartn.htm

The beach also boasts a wide variety of activities other than swimming and tanning. You will be able to take wind surfing lessons, rent Jet-skis, go snorkeling and also get a chance to go Para-sailing.You will also be able to buy purchase items at one of the shops located on the beach. There are bars located on the beach but please make sure you do not drink and drive a Jet-ski. I had a member of our party from the cruise ship who injured herself while buzzing on alcohol and riding the Wave Runner. She narrowly escaped major harm to herself. Ride the Jet-skis when you first get there then have a few drinks if you like. I can laugh about the incident now but if she would of injured herself or somebody else there would not be anything to laugh at.

There is not much shade at the beach however you can rent chairs with oversized umbrellas attached.

I arrived in St. Martin on the “Grand Princess” cruise ship and took a taxi to the Orient beach after a tour of the island. It was during the month of may. It was a very warm day especially for someone who had just left Idaho. I arrived at this beach after a suggestion from my taxi driver. I am very glad I took his advice. I love this beach. I liked the care free attitudes of the visitors to the beach. Everyone seemed to be having fun. I enjoyed watching the para-sailing as much as the people. I did not GAWK. Gawking is not allowed. You can be sneaky though…Hey, c’mon, everyone is looking. Just don’t plan on taking pictures of the nudists.

When I get a chance to go back to St. Martin I would definitely plan for a longer trip. The island of St. Martin has a lot to offer besides just nude beaches and definitely deserves to be looked at as a possible destination for anyone who is planning a trip to the Caribbean.

At the Club Orient Hotel you will find changing rooms.I do wonder though as to why there are change rooms at a NUDE beach? Hmmm….well not everyone is nude but it still makes me wonder.

Florida Activities
Tuesday, November 08th, 2011 /

Florida is busting with year-round activities. Popular Florida activities include sunbathing, a number one treat for those living on or visiting the coastal regions with enough beaches for all to enjoy. Florida also offers a variety of outdoor activities for the recreational enthusiast looking to take in a day of the great outdoors. In Flagler County located in northeast Florida there are a variety of activities that allow you to enjoy the outdoors including fishing, kayaking and bicycling.

 

Florida is known as the Fishing Capital of the World which means there is never a bad time to be out on the water fishing. Dead Lake Basin in the western section of the county runs off of Crescent Lake near the mouth of Haw Creek. Beginning in late February the speckled perch, called crappie in northern areas of the country, begin to spawn and the ‘season’ brings anglers in droves from Georgia and Alabama as well as from throughout Florida.

The ‘specs’ can continue to be caught in abundance as late as April. If salt-water fishing is your preferred activity, Flagler County has miles of off-shore options in the Atlantic as well as fishing in the Intracoastal Waterway.

 

Another way to enjoy the activities Flagler County has to offer is through paddling and kayaking. One of the most beautiful paddling trails, Pellicer Creek, runs between Flagler and St. Johns counties in northern Florida and can be accessed within the Princess Place Preserve. Pellicer Creek, once called Woodcutters Creek, was at one time home to a large timber mill.

 

Bicycling in Florida is a growing activity leading to an increase in paved and off-road trail expansions.

Flagler County has over 72 miles of trails to explore including Linear Park, Canopy Walk, Lehigh Trail and St. Joe’s Walkway are all paved paths linking communities across the county. Graham Swamp Conservation Trail affords the more experienced cyclist 6.5 miles of technical riding making use of ridges and valleys to provide a constant elevation challenge. The natural ‘lay of the land’ results in tight turns throughout this somewhat difficult course. For a longer and less strenuous workout, cyclists can travel the Old Brick Road leading out of the small community of Espanola in western Flagler County. Originally built in 1914, this brick thoroughfare runs parallel to U.S. Highway 1for approximately 14 miles and was one of the few roads traversing the state in the early 1900s. Today it offers a tranquil setting for a leisurely ride back in time. The A1A Bike Path affords a dedicated paved lane running alongside the Atlantic Ocean for 19 miles beginning at Marineland and running south into Flagler Beach.
