4 fun ways to spend a summer day at the beach

Kite-Flying on Long Beach, Washington

The beach at Long Beach is a perfect spot for flying kites. For starters, the beach is long, wide and relatively flat. More importantly, because the town sits on a peninsula (°ëµº) in the southwest corner of the state, wind can always provide ideal conditions for keeping kites in the sky. Kite-flying in these parts is so famous that Washington State International Kite Festival is organized here every year.

Crabbing in Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts

For a quieter experience, however, take the family to the calmer beaches along Cape Cod Bay, and be sure to bring a tool to dig for crabs that hide in the sand. Though the crabs that can be found here aren’t necessarily meaty, kids and grown-ups love the process of looking for breathing holes and digging for treasure.

Exploring sand hills at Silver Lake, Michigan

Beaches along lakes are just as interesting as ocean beaches—especially when they come with sand hills waiting to be explored. Such is the case with the Silver Lake Sand Hills. The area is famous for the only hills east of Utah to allow motorized vehicles in summer, which means they are a favorite spot for families with kids old enough enough to speed around on Go-Karts(¿¨¶¡³µ).

Surf-fishing along Playalinda Beach, Florida

You don’t have to head out on a boat to fish from the ocean; at least not when the family is vacationing near Playalinda Beach. This stretch of shoreline is popular in fishing circles as destination for surf-fishing. Fishing is best 2 hours before or after high tide(³±Ë®).
