Grayt ideas.

Deer Lake State Park is awesome, too.
How about Topsail or other state parks -- do any have particularly funn things to do? (nature walking and picnicing is a given).
There's also that fountain in Rosemary Beach (I don't know the street corner names) that has a bench and you push a button and the fountain sprinklers come on. Kids love it.
Two people could probably take a yoga class together for under $30 if a walk-in price is about $15 or less.

When I stayed Grayton Beach State Park last year, they offered a few children's programs. Might see what is available.

Painting pottery is always funn for us.

*seaweed & sand castle / sculpting contest.

*best beach photo series ... sunrises, sunsets, clouds, natural architectural sand shapes, new friends/old friends, biggest / littlest sandcrabs ...

*how many "states" can you meet on the beach game (bonus points for other countries)...like the old license plate road game.

*identify the crittur game

*tell "progressive" stories

*beach-night-flashlight-ghost stories

*send postcards: share the beach with your poor friends that aren't here!

I meant "wishful" friends...
Prior to moving here full time I had a "beach" room in my house in Ohio that had SoWal beach pics plastering the walls. I intended to blow them up & make "wallpaper"... then said "SELF: to heck w/ wallpaper wishes...just take the plunge & move down there!!!

Michigan but someday in SoWal as well
These ideas are useful. Some new ones we'll try out for sure. thanks. It's nice to go to SoWal and not think you have to spend a lot of money if you don't want to, even when on vacation. I like to have this kind of information for my own family, but also for guests who don't know the area.

Here's another idea I found on another thread. It's not under $30 for four people, but $10/person for yoga on the beach definitely deserves one of the 'best deals in town' designations;

Hello to all my Yoga Buddies and Friends,

I am changing my night yoga classes to Grayton Beach. We have been having such beautiful weather and I do not know why I haven't done this sooner???? Starting Today we will be at Grayton Beach to the left of the boardwalk where the lake and gulf have met. The sand is harder and it is just a perfect place to do some Yoga and enjoy the sea breeze and the sun set. 6-7:30 Mon. Tues. Wed & Thurs.

$10.00/donation and a towel is all you need. Wear your bathing suit under something comfortable to roll around in so that you can take a dip after if you are all hot and sandy......It is truly beautiful out there and feels wonderful!!!

I will be teaching the Monday & Wednesday. Jennifer Kuntz is teaching the Tuesday. Candi Palazzo is teaching the Thursday.

Come and experience Yoga on the Beach with us.....
Peace, Love & Joy to All~

Painting pottery is always funn for us.

...and we LOVE that pottery painting idea! With the slowdown in 2008 of the economy, Fired Up Paint-Your-Own Pottery in Seaside has actually reduced prices on some items since 2007, and added some lower-cost items to the variety of pottery.

A family of four could paint a plate with kids handprints, names, and all the FUNN creativity you can imagine for just over $30.00! :D

here
  • Cassine trail
  • Hike Pt. Washington State forest
  • Frisbee/Hackee in Seaside's lyceum
  • Visit and fall in love with Eden State Gardens
  • Swim in the bay, I prefer down cabbage rose lane
  • bring your bikes and enjoy the bike path
  • find at least 5 pools to "dive and dash" (my favorites include watercolor, cassine, eden's landing and various VRBO's)
  • climb to the top of One Seagrove Place (21 flights of stairs) and enjoy the bird's eye view. It is breath taking. We also use to play hide-and-seek at night here, but don't get caught!;-)
