Travel: July 2007 Archives

So our default beach when our friends lend us their car is Robert Moses State Park on Fire Island. The parking is plentiful and only $8; the sand is white; the waves are big; and if you don't mind walking away from the main pavilions, you can have a small chunk of sand to yourself. Does anybody else have a favorite beach? It's hard to stray from the beach you love for fear it won't live up to the ideal. I'd love to hear about other people's beach escapes.
