[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Context: I’m from Oregon. I grew up going to the coast for windsurfing and boogie boarding (in a wetsuit even in August) and then for fishing and crabbing, but never once did anyone in my family lay on the beach on a towel. It’s cold and overcast most of the time. I come from a family of pretty serious watersportsmen. Some people might accuse them of being adrenaline junkies.

A lot of my kids’ friends do the beach house rental thing. I don’t want to make assumptions but from what I absorbed from pop culture growing up, you being towels, umbrellas, toys, snacks, and just lay in the sand and splash in the surf. Doesn’t that get boring after a few hours and certainly after one day? Do east coast beach towns have a bunch more activities that I’m missing?[/quote]

You can do all the things you do in Oregon but no need for a wetsuit.  OK the wind isn't the same as Columbia River Gorge but you can do everything else.  People bring umbrellas, towels and toys because it is pleasant/fun to stay all day.  You left off beach games like volleyball and spikeball as fun things you can do as well.  I have a very active family, and we never get bored with a beach vacation.

I am not sure you will find a satisfactory answer here.  You may just have to take a risk and experience it for yourself, but it is a pretty awesome way to spend part of a summer.[/quote]
