For an especially restful way to enjoy your next seaside vacation, try a bed-and-breakfast. Most come complete with complimentary coffee and breakfast, so you can wake up, fuel up, and be ready for a day in the surf and sand.
Whether you’re a local or just passing through, spending the night in one of these destinations can be a great way to get away from the stress and hassles of everyday life.
While you’ll have your own room, you’ll also have access to a common area that is just as comfy and inviting as your own living room — if not more so. You don’t have to clean this one!
