Favorite EAST COAST Beach Destinations

Since my summer has basically been rained out so far, I am planning a long awaited trip to the beach next week for a few days to get in some actual vacation before the rain picks back up. I thought I'd ask fellow Chewers for their favorite places to visit the East Coast Ocean.

I'll list a few and why I like them

* Rehobeth Beach in Deleware. Went here as a kid, its alot of fun, good surf, pretty clean
* Any Cape Cod beach.... great Massachusetts destination, with great examples of our wonderful Bay State wild life. Cons: Too Many Tourists, and if you live in MA, you've gone there too frequently to really enjoy it. I had to go on like three seperate school trips there over the years.
* Easton Beach, Newport RI. My absolute favorite East Coast Ocean beach, on my favorite island found in the East Coast Sea. Newport is an amazing place if you've never been. You can visit the houses of the 19th century super rich, walk the cobblestone streets, go to awesome beach side restaurants, and my favorite place to eat, The Brick Alley Pub (they have awesome pinball tables and food). This is where I'll be next week.

Curious to hear the thoughts of others, or hear about places I might not have heard of! Anyone else have any cool ocean related summer plans?

Oh nice, I've been there, you're right, it is pretty nice. As for 'riding the waves', I enjoy being hit by powerful waves and knocked over. I guess it comes from growing up away from the coast and the fact most of the time I spend in the water is in pools, lakes, ponds or bathtubs. Feeling the power of the surf is endlessly amusing for me. I am not well balanced enough to surf on a board (which is odd, because in theory at least, it seems like skiing which I am great at).

My trip to the beach got delayed till labor day weekend

Well after many false starts and delays, I should be leaving sunday for less than 48 hrs in New Port! Can't wait, hope I don't get Hurricane'd

Oh no. Thats really depressing to hear. I loved Rehobeth, sorry to hear mother nature is taking its toll.

::SIGHS::

Well, looks like I will be spending just over 24 hrs in new port. this is going to be the least relaxing vacation ever lol. I am going sunday mid day, spending monday at the beach, and heading back monday night. if i get any pix i'll make an album or something

and now my trip has been cancelled entirely... hooray for labor day
