Guide to Solo Camping for Women
Camping is a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, but as a single female, you may feel hesitant
Beaches around the country are reopening after weeks of government-mandated closures due to the coronavirus. Now that most schools are officially on summer break, families want to know how they can enjoy some summer beach time while maintaining social distancing.
An outing to the beach can be a healthy, safe activity for the family as long as you keep in mind 4 simple tips.
When you arrive at the beach, look for a spot to set up that won’t be as popular. Stay away from access points to the public showers and toilets as well as food vendors and store fronts. Normally, these are the best places to set up your beach blanket – but not when you are trying to social distance. Pick a spot out of the way from crowds where you can claim your space.
Once you’ve found your beach spot, set out large beach mats to stake out a big spot on the sand. You want to make at least a 6 foot border around yourself to discourage any other people from setting up too close. We like to use the 6′ long Mountain Mat beach mats to spread out as a border.
Plan to bring an ice chest stocked with food and drinks for your trip to the beach. Not only will this keep you from waiting in food lines with crowds (assuming restaurants are open), but it will save money too.
While people are social distancing, kids won’t be able to run around and play with new friends at the beach. You can help keep beach time exciting and fun by bringing a few new sand toys to play with. A big bucket and a sturdy shovel are always good!
