Budget & Insider Tips

Grandparent Money Tips

• Most public beaches are free — the parking fee is the real cost. Arrive before 9am to beat both the crowds and the lot attendant at many state beaches.
• Pack everything: sunscreen, snacks, water, towels. Beach vendor prices are 2–3x normal. A soda on the sand shouldn't cost $6.
• Connecticut and New York both have state beaches open to all visitors — often cheaper than town beaches that require a resident sticker.
