Like most people in the US, we have had quite a frigid winter here in coastal North Carolina. In effort to save money for future endeavors, we needed to plan a low budget getaway to warm water, lots of sunshine, and good waves. What better way to escape the cold than a road trip down to the Florida Keys!? It was the perfect remedy to beat our winter blues and refresh our souls. We scored some sweet waves, (glassy, chest to head high + under offshore winds), surfed our way down the sunshine state, ate tons of fresh, local seafood, SUP'd, snorkeled, swam, fished, and explored all over the mangrove mazes. Oh yeah, and how can I forget one of the highlights of the trip?! Surfing with manatees!! So my point is, you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on airfaire and hotels to plan a great vacation. Just grab some friends, split the gas and lodging, hit the road and wing it! You never know what adventures may lie ahead :-)
From great eats and drinks to amazing natural wonders, this site breaks it down and has it all! I highly recommend it, no matter what your point of interests may be.
