Heads Up

Keep a small cash/parking buffer for beach lots and meters, especially in busy coastal towns.

Summer heat and storms can change the feel of a day fast, so morning beach walks and flexible afternoons work best.

Don't leave valuables visible in the car when you're stopping at beaches or trailheads.
