The beach...ah, the sun, the surf, ...the crowds!?!  No crowds with a late spring beach trip. This time in late April and early May is one of the best times for the beach. Just about everywhere in North America, this is beach shoulder season! Here's why you should be sampling beaches anywhere in the country and Caribbean, right now!!

Up north, beaches are still shrugging off their winter coats of snow.  Early season pricing specials can be found for places that will be unaffordable to mere mortals in July. You'll need a polar fleece, but you'll have the beach to yourself!  In the south, the snowbirds have returned north, and the summer family vacationers haven't arrived yet. In the Caribbean the spring breakers have returned for their final exams, and the Europeans don't have their month-long "holidays" till July or August, leaving rooms open at resorts where the weather really never changes much from season to season, but the prices and crowds do! So start searching for specials at that resort where you've always wanted to stay, or bundle up and pick a beach hotel room up north with it's own roaring fireplace.
