FREE or Almost FREE Things We Enjoyed While on Vacation

I have never really thought about all the things a family can enjoy for FREE at the beach until this year. Check out my list below of all the activites we did for FREE.

- Fireworks Show
- Live Band - Beach Music
- Collecting Seashells including Sand Dollars
- Breathtaking Sunsets
- Swimming in the Ocean
- Building Sandcastles
- Fishing - Took our own rods, my husband caught our own live bait - Caught 4 Trout,
3 Flounders and 1 Pompano (We'll be having a fish fry soon.)
- People Watching
- Playing in the Park
- Romantic Walk on the Beach with your Spouse

- Fresh Seafood Dinner at a GREAT Price at a very nice restaurant overlooking an inlet. You got to enjoy the view of the water and the boats. I purchased a $25 gift certificate from restaurant.com before we depart for $3. Our meal total for 3 adults and 1 child was $ 59 total (incl. tip) with our gift certificate our total came to $ 34. That's an average $10 per adult and $4 for a childs plate (total includes tip). Our meal included an appetizer, 3 entrees, 1 childs plate and drinks. I was very pleased with our meal and our savings.

This will be included Wednesday at Rocks in my Dryer for her Edition of Works-for-Me-Wednesday. Make sure you check it out for other great tips.
