Summer, Sand, Surf, Seagulls, Seashells
and Sunshine? Ssssso…it's time for a Beach party again! She
may sell seashells down by the seashore or have a confining desk
job but when the season's right it's time. Get out the grill or
dig some clams, whatever the local favorite, the beach party is
the best place in town to eat.
Some may complain about sand in their food
but none of the guests will complain about the atmosphere
because anything tastes better at the beach. Any budget will
allow for a great beach party. If nothing else just pick up some
food at the drive through and set up the volleyball net. Even
when there isn't a volleyball game the surf provides the
entertainment and the sunset provides the view.
Different public beaches have different
facilities and rules of using those facilities so it is
imperative to check with local parks & recreation
departments before grabbing a picnic shelter that might already
be reserved for another use. Many municipalities and states do
have free reservation of shelters, tables and grills however.
Some even have electric so that slow cookers or portable
refrigerating coolers may be used.
Many parks have recreation centers or
sports equipment rental so there shouldn't be any shortage of
things available for guests to do on their own dime. If not then
maybe it would be best to have guests bring beach balls or horse
shoes. Some might even want to fish, snorkel or sail. It may be
possible to schedule when another free entertainment like music,
sailboat or balloon races are to be presented. Be careful to
evaluate the parking first when this is the plan though!
Buy lots of beach party themed paper party
goods to make any occasion better at the Public Park or private
beach.
