Excellent giveaway. One of my favorite beach reads is Summer Sisters by Judy Blume. It takes me right back to vacationing with my friends family at a beach camp ground in Rhode Island. Summer Sisters is definitely racier than my getaways were, but love it!!!!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Now I am in Arizona so I only get to enjoy my favorite beach activity when I visit family and friends in California, but my favorite beach activity is actually one I picked up when I lived in Rhode Island. I love collecting sea glass when taking long walks on the beach. It is like coming up with little treasures. I have a Zen garden that I put some of my prettier finds in.
Thanks again!

I hope this is not duplicated... if so delete one or the other.... since I am not a swimmer... I think I would be safe to say I would love to sit at the beach and read Jaws... it's an old one and haven't read in a while; but, the irony would be well worth it...
My favorite beach activity would be collecting seashells and sea glass...

Walking along the beach, searching for shells etc. is my favorite thing to do when I go to the beach.
