There are just city beaches along the Danube, but I don't think that counts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home/page/2#post-1673129 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:02:35 +0000 Springtime 1673129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No beach. but we have a lake. I don't like to go because it's gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home#post-1673124 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:01:44 +0000 photojane 1673124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Lots of beaches actually. We live on the coast. I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home#post-1672968 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 12:29:13 +0000 deerylou 1672968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in a beach town; the sand is about a five minute walk from our front door. We had a grilled dinner down there, last night. We walk the beach often, as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home#post-1672952 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 12:24:44 +0000 fancyfunction 1672952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of beaches around but I'm not a beach person, so rarely take advantage of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home#post-1672843 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 11:50:45 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1672843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know most don't consider this close, but being in PA and landlocked, an hour to the Jersey shore is close!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home#post-1672838 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 11:49:40 +0000 wonderstruck 1672838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're close to Lake Erie, but I definitely wouldn't be going swimming in it, no real sand in our area - just much and grossness for the most part. So jealous of those of you who live near the ocean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home#post-1672678 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:48:29 +0000 pinkb 1672678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live 10 minutes from Siesta Key, one of the best beaches in the US. We should really take advantage of it a lot more cause we hardly ever go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home#post-1672661 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:44:52 +0000 Dandelion 1672661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 2 hours away. D loves the beach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home#post-1672653 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:42:45 +0000 BSB 1672653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got lake beaches about 20-30 min away, but ocean beaches are about 2-4 hrs away. It's too cold up in the Seattle area, so we usually go down south to the OR beaches. It's a bit warmer.</p> <p>I miss going to the NJ shore. It was a 2 hr drive but it was usually warm enough to, at least, lay out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home#post-1672518 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 09:53:32 +0000 mfa_lady 1672518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 3 hours away for us....but it's a crazy busy beach, so we never go! We live right near a river, though, and we spend a lot of time on the water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home#post-1672506 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 09:46:37 +0000 hummusgirl 1672506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We brought LO to Coney Island for the first time yesterday and it was AMAZING!! We went first thing, got there by 9:45 and it was so peaceful - we basically had the whole thing to ourselves. LO won't nap except in his crib, so we were home by 1. It was perfect and we plan on going all summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home#post-1672458 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 09:31:52 +0000 chibee 1672458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I live in Point Pleasant - beach is about a mile and a half?

It's a gorgeous beach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home#post-1672452 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 09:29:35 +0000 psw27 1672452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Less than 10 minutes away, but it is not a "nice" beach. We usually drive about an hour for a nicer beach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home#post-1672446 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 09:27:27 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1672446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate that where we live in Florida, its still almost an hour drive to a beach :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home#post-1672443 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 09:26:31 +0000 Chastenet 1672443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we're 1 block from lake Michigan, obviously not the ocean, but I'll take it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home#post-1672435 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 09:24:18 +0000 Boheme 1672435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have to drive several hours.

I really need to go some place in the Caribbean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-beach-near-your-home#post-1672212 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 08:01:32 +0000 snowjewelz 1672212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beaches north and south of me within 30 min drive! </p>
