It is a very family-oriented beach vacation area with lots of safe natural attractions that are perfect for family exploration.
The coastal marshes are great for canoeing or kayaking. The Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge provides fourteen miles of trails for hiking and cycling. The Savannah National Wildlife refuge is 26,000 acres and has a winding road through it for a family nature drive.
But all the North Shore beaches are great for families as the water is calm and warm as well as easy beach access for families loaded down with all their beach paraphernalia.
It’s a good idea not to bring your car as the island is small and very popular. But there are lots of paved bike paths and dirt trails that are perfect for bikes and mopeds.
Family Beach Vacation Idea #7:Fifty miles south of Los Angeles, California is
Newport Beach. Much of the area is high end luxury with yachts and mansions. These are fun to look at but there are miles of unspoiled beaches that are great for your family vacation. The Balboa Fun Zone has been entertaining families since 1936 with rides like the Ferris Wheel and bumper cars. The area between Santa Ana River Jetty and the Newport Pier is called The Wedge and it offers some of the best body-surfing you can find anywhere.
Family Beach Vacation Idea #8:Cape May, on the southern tip of New Jersey, has over six-hundred Victorian-era buildings and is classified as a National Historic Landmark. The city is quiet, tree-lined and provides a taste of times past. The beaches and the town are a more family-oriented atmosphere than some of the other more raucous beach destinations along the New Jersey shore. Sunset Beach is popular for their “Cape May Diamonds”. These are quartz pebbles that have been polished naturally by the ocean so that they resemble a real diamond.
