Beach and Water Activities

Okay, let’s kick things off with the main attraction – the beach! Ocean City’s beaches are seriously gorgeous, and there are so many fun ways to enjoy them. We spent a ton of time soaking up the sun and splashing in the waves, and it was honestly the highlight of our trip. Did you know that Ocean City has a whopping 10 miles of beach? And get this – 8 of those miles are watched over by the Beach Patrol, so you can feel super safe while you’re living it up. The water is pretty nice too, especially in the summer. We’re talking temperatures between 65°F and 75°F, which is perfect for cooling off on a hot day.

Now, let me break down some of the awesome beach and water activities we tried during our Ocean City bachelorette party. Trust me, these are guaranteed to make your celebration unforgettable!

1. Beach Day Extravaganza

First things first – you’ve got to have at least one epic beach day during your Ocean City bachelorette party. We kicked off our trip with a full day of sun, sand, and surf, and it was the perfect way to start the celebration. Here’s a pro tip: rent some chairs and umbrellas from one of the vendors along the boardwalk. It’ll make your beach day so much more comfortable, and you won’t have to lug a ton of stuff from your hotel. We also brought custom “Team Bride” towels, which made for some awesome group photos. Don’t forget to pack a cooler with plenty of drinks and snacks. We loaded ours up with fruit, sandwiches, and some refreshing cocktails (in plastic cups, of course – no glass on the beach!). It kept us fueled up for all the beach games we played, like volleyball and frisbee. Oh, and here’s a fun idea we tried: we had a sandcastle building contest! We split into teams and gave ourselves an hour to create the most impressive sandcastle we could. The bride-to-be was the judge, and she gave out prizes for categories like “Most Creative,” “Biggest,” and “Most Ocean City-Inspired.” It was hilarious seeing everyone get so competitive over sand! Before you head out for your beach day, make sure to pack these 9 essential items in your bridal suite. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did!

2. Sunset Cruise Adventure

After a long day on the beach, there’s nothing better than watching the sun go down over the water. We booked a sunset cruise with Sail Alyosha, and it was seriously magical. The cruise lasted about 2-3 hours, which was perfect – enough time to relax and enjoy the views without getting bored. The boat had drinks and snacks available, but we also brought some of our own champagne to toast the bride-to-be. As we sailed along the coast, the sky turned into this incredible canvas of pinks, oranges, and purples. It was one of those moments where you just have to stop and take it all in, you know? One thing to keep in mind: sunset cruises typically leave 1-2 hours before the actual sunset, so plan accordingly. Also, most boats can fit between 6-12 passengers, which is perfect for a bachelorette group. Just make sure to book in advance, especially during peak season.

3. Paddleboarding Escapade

Alright, time to get a little more active! We decided to try paddleboarding, and it was such a blast. We booked a group lesson with Walk on Water Paddleboards, and they were awesome – super patient with those of us who were total beginners (ahem, me). Paddleboarding is a great workout, especially for your core muscles. But don’t worry if you’re not super fit – it’s actually pretty easy to get the hang of once you find your balance. Plus, it’s a fun way to explore the coastline from a different perspective. Our lesson lasted about 2 hours, which was perfect. It gave us enough time to learn the basics, practice a bit, and then just enjoy paddling around. And let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of gliding across the water on a beautiful day.

4. Parasailing Thrill

For all you adrenaline junkies out there, you’ve got to try parasailing during your Ocean City bachelorette party. We went with Paradise Watersports, and it was absolutely incredible. They took us up about 800 feet above the water, and the views were insane. I’ll be honest, I was a little nervous at first. But once we were up there, it was so peaceful and beautiful. You can see for miles in every direction – the whole coastline of Ocean City stretched out below us. It’s an experience I’ll never forget. The actual flight only lasts about 10-12 minutes, but the whole experience takes a bit longer with getting set up and everything. Oh, and heads up – there are weight restrictions for safety reasons, usually between 130-400 lbs per flight. But don’t worry, they can usually accommodate most people.

5. Jet Ski Adventure

Last but definitely not least in our water adventures – jet skiing! We rented some jet skis from Odyssea Watersports, and it was such a rush. You can choose between 30-minute or 1-hour rentals, but trust me, go for the hour. Time flies when you’re zipping across the waves! These things can go up to 65 mph, which is pretty wild when you’re out on the open water. It’s an awesome way to explore the coastline and get your heart pumping at the same time. Just be prepared to get a little wet – half the fun is hitting those waves! One thing to note: if you were born after July 1, 1972, you’ll need a boating safety certificate to operate a jet ski. But don’t worry, the rental place can usually help you out with a quick course before you head out.

Nightlife and Entertainment

Alright, now let’s talk about what happens after the sun goes down. Because let’s be real, no bachelorette party is complete without some epic nights out! Ocean City really knows how to party, with over 200 bars and restaurants to choose from. And during peak season, there’s live music and entertainment pretty much everywhere you look. We had some seriously fun nights out during our Ocean City bachelorette party, so I’m excited to share our favorite spots and activities with you. Whether you’re into bar hopping, comedy shows, or dancing the night away, there’s something for everyone here.

6. Boardwalk Bar Crawl

One of the best nights of our trip was when we did a bar crawl along Ocean City’s famous Boardwalk. It’s 2.5 miles long, so there are tons of places to stop along the way. Plus, everything’s within walking distance, so you don’t have to worry about transportation. We started at Seacrets, which is this huge complex right on the beach. It’s got multiple bars, live music, and you can even dance with your feet in the sand. From there, we headed to Purple Moose Saloon, which has more of a rock ‘n’ roll vibe. We ended the night at Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill, where we danced to a live band under the stars. To make it extra fun, we gave each stop a different decade theme. We started with a 1950s look at Seacrets, transitioned to 1970s disco vibes at Purple Moose Saloon, and ended with a futuristic 2080s theme at Macky’s. Everyone got really into it, and it made for some hilarious photos! Before you head out on your own bar crawl, check out these tips for planning the perfect bachelorette party. They’ll help make sure your night goes smoothly and everyone has a blast.

7. Seacrets Jamaica USA Experience

I know I mentioned Seacrets before, but it deserves its own spot on this list because it’s just that awesome. This place is like a little slice of Jamaica right in Ocean City. It’s huge – they can fit up to 5,000 people! – and it’s got a little bit of everything. We spent a whole afternoon and evening here, and it was one of the highlights of our Ocean City bachelorette party. There are multiple bars, including some right in the water where you can sit on submerged stools and sip your drink with your feet in the bay. They’ve also got live music, DJs, and plenty of space to dance. One of the coolest things about Seacrets is that it’s got both indoor and outdoor areas. So if the weather’s nice, you can hang out on the beach or by the water. But if it gets chilly or starts to rain, you can head inside and keep the party going.

8. Comedy Club Night

For something a little different, we decided to check out a show at Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club one night. It was such a fun change of pace from the usual bar scene. The comedians were hilarious, and it was great to just sit back, relax, and laugh with my friends. The shows usually last about 90 minutes to 2 hours, which is perfect. It gives you enough time to enjoy the comedy without taking up your whole night. Plus, they often have both local comedians and some bigger names, so you never know who you might see. One tip: book your tickets in advance, especially if you’re going on a weekend. These shows can sell out pretty quickly, especially during peak season. Oh, and if you’re sitting near the front, be prepared – you might become part of the show!

9. Fager’s Island Sunset Celebration

This next one is a bit more low-key, but it’s so cool and unique to Ocean City that I had to include it. Fager’s Island does this amazing sunset celebration every night (weather permitting, of course). As the sun starts to set, they play Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” and fire off a cannon. It sounds a bit cheesy, but trust me, it’s actually really beautiful and kind of moving. We timed our visit to Fager’s Island to catch the sunset celebration, and it was such a special moment. We all got cocktails and found a spot with a good view of the bay. As the music swelled and the sun dipped below the horizon, it felt like this perfect, magical moment that we were all sharing together. Fager’s Island has both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can enjoy the celebration rain or shine. They’ve also got great food and drinks, so it’s a good spot to grab dinner before a night out.

10. Karaoke Showdown

Last but not least in our nightlife adventures – karaoke! We hit up The Sandbar for a hilarious night of belting out our favorite tunes. They’ve got private rooms you can rent, which is perfect for a bachelorette party. That way, you don’t have to worry about singing in front of strangers if you’re feeling a bit shy. We rented a room for a couple of hours and had an absolute blast. They’ve got thousands of songs to choose from, so there’s something for everyone. We did everything from cheesy pop songs to power ballads, and by the end of the night, we were all a bit hoarse from singing (and laughing) so much. The private rooms usually fit about 6-12 people, which is perfect for most bachelorette groups. And don’t worry if you’re not the world’s best singer – it’s all about having fun and being a bit silly with your friends.

Relaxation and Pampering

Alright, after all that partying and adventure, it’s time to slow things down a bit. Because let’s be real, every good bachelorette party needs some time for relaxation and pampering. Luckily, Ocean City has plenty of options to help you and your squad unwind and feel rejuvenated. There are several full-service spas and wellness centers in Ocean City, and many hotels even offer in-house spa services if you want to keep things super convenient. We tried out a few different relaxation activities during our trip, Understood. I’ll continue from where I left off, covering the remaining content without starting over: and they were the perfect balance to all the high-energy stuff we did.

11. Spa Day Indulgence

We decided to treat ourselves to a day of pampering at Creative Day Spa, and it was absolutely divine. We booked a group package that included massages, facials, and mani-pedis. It was such a great way to recharge after a couple of days of non-stop partying. Did you know that spa treatments can actually help reduce cortisol levels in your body? That’s the hormone responsible for stress, so you’re literally de-stressing as you relax. Plus, booking as a group often gets you a better deal than if you were to book individual treatments.

We spent about 4 hours at the spa, which was the perfect amount of time to feel totally refreshed without getting antsy. By the time we left, we all felt like new women – relaxed, glowing, and ready for whatever else our Ocean City bachelorette party had in store.

12. Beachfront Yoga Session

For a different kind of relaxation, we decided to start one of our days with a beachfront yoga session. We booked a private class with Yoga on the Beach OC, and it was such a cool experience. There’s something really special about doing yoga with the sound of waves in the background and the ocean breeze on your skin. Our instructor was great about tailoring the class to our group’s skill level, so don’t worry if you’re not a yoga pro. And get this – doing yoga on sand actually helps improve your balance because of the uneven surface. It’s like a little extra workout without even trying! We did our session in the morning, which I’d definitely recommend. The beach is quieter, the temperature is cooler, and it’s a beautiful way to start the day. Plus, it left us feeling energized and centered for the rest of our activities. If you’re looking for more ideas on how to incorporate wellness into your bachelorette party, especially if the bride-to-be isn’t big on drinking, check out these 6 bachelorette party alternatives for brides who don’t drink.

13. Wine Tasting Adventure

For a more laid-back afternoon activity, we took a short trip to Costa Ventosa Winery. It’s only about 20 minutes from Ocean City, and it was such a fun change of pace. They offer wine tastings where you can sample a variety of wines made from locally grown grapes. We went on a Saturday, which was perfect because they had live music playing. It created this really cool, relaxed vibe as we sipped our wine and chatted. The staff was super knowledgeable and friendly, happy to answer all our questions about the different wines. One of the coolest things about Costa Ventosa is that they use grapes grown right there in the area. It gave us a real taste (pun intended) of the local flavors. We even bought a few bottles to take back with us as souvenirs.

14. Paint and Sip Party

Another fun, creative activity we tried was a paint and sip party at Painting with a Twist. It’s this cool concept where you paint a picture while enjoying some wine (or whatever drink you prefer). Don’t worry if you’re not artistically inclined – it’s all about having fun and trying something new. We chose a beach-themed painting, which felt appropriate for our Ocean City bachelorette party. The instructor walked us through the process step by step, and it was amazing to see how different all our paintings turned out, even though we were all following the same instructions. The session lasted about 2 hours, which flew by. They provided all the materials – canvas, paint, brushes – so all we had to do was show up ready to get creative. It was such a fun, unique way to spend an afternoon, and we all had a cool souvenir to take home with us.

15. Sunset Meditation and Bonfire

To wrap up our relaxation activities, we organized a sunset meditation and bonfire on the beach. We hired a local yoga instructor to lead us through a guided meditation as the sun was setting. It was incredibly peaceful and a beautiful way to reflect on our trip and the upcoming wedding. After the meditation, we gathered around a bonfire (with a permit from the Ocean City Fire Department, of course) to roast marshmallows and share stories. It was one of those magical moments where you just feel so grateful to be surrounded by your friends in such a beautiful place. Did you know that meditation can help reduce anxiety and improve emotional well-being? It was the perfect way to center ourselves after all the excitement of the bachelorette party. Plus, watching the sunset over the ocean is pretty hard to beat.

Adventure and Thrills

Now, let’s switch gears and talk about some of the more adrenaline-pumping activities Ocean City has to offer. If your bachelorette squad includes some thrill-seekers, you’re in luck. There are plenty of ways to get your heart racing and create some unforgettable memories. Ocean City is home to several amusement parks and adventure centers, so you’ve got lots of options. Just keep in mind that many of these activities have age and weight restrictions for safety reasons, so check those out before you book anything.

16. Amusement Park Day

We spent a day at Jolly Roger Amusement Park, and it was like being kids again – but with the added bonus of being able to drink! They’ve got over 30 rides and attractions, so there’s something for everyone, whether you’re a roller coaster junkie or prefer something a little tamer. We bought all-day passes, which I’d definitely recommend. It lets you ride as much as you want without having to worry about tickets. We started with some of the bigger rides to get our adrenaline pumping, then cooled off on the water slides (yep, they’ve got those too!). One of the coolest things about Jolly Roger is that they’ve also got mini-golf courses and a go-kart track. So even if some of your group aren’t big on rides, there are still plenty of fun things to do. We ended up having an epic mini-golf tournament, complete with silly forfeits for the losers.

17. Escape Room Challenge

For a different kind of thrill, we decided to try out an escape room at Escape Room OC. If you’ve never done one before, it’s basically a game where you’re “locked” in a room and have to solve puzzles and find clues to get out within a time limit. It’s super fun and really gets your brain working. We chose the “Pirate’s Plunder” theme, which felt appropriate for a beach town. The room was decorated like an old pirate ship, and we had to solve riddles and find hidden objects to “escape” before our hour was up. I won’t spoil anything, but let’s just say it was way more challenging than we expected! These rooms are designed for groups, so it’s a great team-building activity. We all had to work together, using our different strengths to solve the puzzles. And the adrenaline rush when you’re racing against the clock is real!

18. Go-Karting Grand Prix

For some friendly competition, we hit up the go-kart track at Grand Prix Amusements. They’ve got this awesome multi-level track that’s way more exciting than your average go-kart course. The karts can go up to 25 mph, which feels pretty fast when you’re taking tight turns! We did a few races, and let me tell you, things got pretty competitive. The track has a computerized timing system, so you can see exactly how you stack up against your friends. We even gave out silly prizes for the fastest lap and the most improved driver. One cool thing about go-karting is that it’s something almost everyone can enjoy, regardless of their usual activity level. It’s exciting without being too physically demanding, and it’s a great way to bring out everyone’s playful side.

19. Zipline and Ropes Course

For a real adventure, we headed to Frontier Town’s zipline and ropes course. This place is no joke – they’ve got 5 different zip lines and 29 challenging obstacles in their aerial adventure park. It was definitely a test of our bravery and physical skills! We started with the ziplines, which give you an amazing bird’s-eye view of the area. Zooming through the air at up to 30 mph is such a rush! Then we tackled the ropes course, which had everything from wobbly bridges to cargo nets we had to climb. One thing I loved about this activity was how supportive everyone was. We all cheered each other on through the tough parts and celebrated when someone conquered a particularly challenging obstacle. It really brought us together as a group.

20. Laser Tag Battle

To round out our adventure activities, we had an epic laser tag battle at Planet Maze. They’ve got this awesome glow-in-the-dark arena that makes you feel like you’re in a sci-fi movie. We split into teams and had a blast trying to tag each other and capture the other team’s base. Each game lasts about 15 minutes, which is perfect – long enough to get really into it, but not so long that you get tired out. We played a few rounds, switching up the teams each time to keep things interesting. Did you know that laser tag systems use infrared technology for hit detection? It’s pretty cool how accurate it is. And playing in the dark environment really heightens your other senses – you have to rely on your hearing and spatial awareness a lot more than you’d expect.

Food and Culinary Experiences

Alright, foodies, this section is for you! No bachelorette party is complete without some amazing eats, and Ocean City definitely delivers on that front. From fresh seafood to sweet treats, there’s something to satisfy every craving. Ocean City is famous for its Maryland blue crabs, and trust me, they live up to the hype. But that’s just the beginning. With over 200 restaurants ranging from casual beachside spots to upscale dining experiences, you’re spoiled for choice.

21. Seafood Feast Extravaganza

You can’t visit Ocean City without indulging in a proper seafood feast. We went to Phillips Crab House, which is a local institution. They have this amazing “Create Your Own Seafood Feast” option where you can mix and match different seafood items. We went all out with steamed crabs, fresh oysters, and grilled fish. Here’s a fun fact: Maryland blue crabs are typically in season from April to November. So if you’re planning your Ocean City bachelorette party during that time, you’re in for a real treat. And let me tell you, learning the proper technique for picking crabs is an experience in itself. It’s messy, but so much fun! We spent a good couple of hours at Phillips, cracking crabs, slurping oysters, and washing it all down with some local beers. It was the perfect way to experience the local cuisine and have a relaxed, social meal with the group.

22. Culinary Tour Adventure

For a more varied taste of Ocean City’s food scene, we signed up for a tour with OC Food Tours. This 3-hour adventure took us to some of the best eateries in town, letting us sample a bit of everything. It was a great way to try lots of different foods without committing to full meals at each place. The tour covered about 1-2 miles of walking, so it was a nice way to explore the town while we ate. We stopped at 5-7 different places, trying everything from classic Maryland crab cakes to innovative fusion dishes. Our guide was super knowledgeable, not just about the food but also about Ocean City’s history and culture. One of the coolest things about the food tour was discovering little hidden gems we might have missed otherwise. We found this amazing little bakery tucked away on a side street that had the most incredible key lime pie I’ve ever tasted.

23. Cooking Class Bonding

For a more hands-on culinary experience, we took a cooking class at A Perfect Face Day Spa. I know, it sounds weird to do a cooking class at a spa, but trust me, it was awesome. We learned how to make some classic coastal cuisine, including a killer crab dip that I’ve already recreated at home. The class lasted about 2-3 hours, which was perfect. We worked in small groups to prepare different dishes, then got to enjoy everything we made together at the end. It was such a fun way to bond with the group and learn some new skills at the same time.

Our instructor was great about explaining techniques and answering questions. Even those of us who weren’t particularly confident in the kitchen felt comfortable and had a great time. It was cool to see how everyone’s dishes turned out a little different, even though we were following the same recipes. If you’re Understood. I’ll continue from where I left off: If you’re looking for more unique bachelorette party ideas, check out these 25 unforgettable bachelorette party themes that could inspire your Ocean City celebration.

24. Boardwalk Treats Crawl

For those with a sweet tooth, a Boardwalk treats crawl is a must-do. We made it our mission to try all the iconic Ocean City snacks and desserts. First stop: Thrasher’s fries. These aren’t your average fries – they’ve been serving them on the Boardwalk since 1929, and they’re seriously addictive. Next up was Fisher’s popcorn. The smell alone is enough to draw you in, and the taste doesn’t disappoint. We got a mix of their classic caramel and Old Bay flavored popcorn – a perfect blend of sweet and savory. We capped off our treat crawl with some Kohr Bros. ice cream. They use a unique frozen custard recipe that dates back to 1919, and it’s incredibly creamy and delicious. We tried a bunch of different flavors, but the classic vanilla twist was my personal favorite.

25. Beachfront BBQ Bash

For our final culinary adventure, we decided to host our own beachfront barbecue. We rented a grill from Ocean City Beach Equipment Rentals and set up right on the sand. It was such a fun, laid-back way to enjoy a meal together. One thing to note: you’ll need a permit from the Ocean City Beach Patrol to grill on the beach. Also, only propane grills are allowed – charcoal is a no-go. But don’t let that deter you! The experience of cooking and eating with the sound of waves in the background is totally worth the extra effort. We grilled up some local seafood, corn on the cob, and veggies, and everyone brought a side dish to share. It turned into this amazing potluck-style feast. As the sun started to set, we lit some lanterns and kept the party going well into the evening. It was the perfect way to wrap up our culinary experiences in Ocean City.

Planning Considerations

Now that we’ve covered all the fun stuff, let’s talk about some practical considerations for planning your Ocean City bachelorette party. A little bit of forethought can go a long way in making sure everything runs smoothly. First up: timing. Ocean City’s peak season runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. This is when the weather is warmest and all the attractions are in full swing. But it’s also when prices are highest and crowds are biggest. We opted for a trip in early September, which was perfect – still warm enough for beach days, but with smaller crowds and better deals on accommodations. Speaking of accommodations, Ocean City has a ton of options. There are over 10,000 hotel rooms and 21,000 condominium units to choose from. We ended up renting a beachfront condo, which was great for our group. It gave us plenty of space to hang out together, and having a kitchen meant we could make some meals at home to save money. When it comes to getting around, the Coastal Highway bus is super convenient. It runs 24/7 during peak season and costs just $3 for an all-day pass. We used it a lot for our night out adventures. For shorter trips, we rented bikes one day, which was a fun way to explore. Ocean City has a 7.5-mile-long bike route along Coastal Highway, so it’s pretty easy to get around on two wheels. Budgeting is another important consideration. We found that looking for combo deals on attractions and taking advantage of happy hour specials at restaurants and bars helped stretch our dollars further. Many places offer group discounts for parties of 10 or more, so don’t be afraid to ask about those when booking activities. For more budget-friendly ideas, check out these 7 ways to save $300 as a bridesmaid, which can be applied to planning a cost-effective bachelorette party.

Group Dynamics and Customization

One of the trickiest parts of planning a bachelorette party is catering to everyone’s preferences. Our group had a mix of personalities – some party animals, some more low-key types – so we tried to plan a variety of activities to suit everyone. We found that alternating high-energy adventures with more relaxed activities helped keep everyone happy and prevented burnout. We also made sure to build in some free time for people to do their own thing or just chill at the beach if they wanted. To make our Ocean City bachelorette party feel extra special, we added some personal touches. We had custom beach bags made with everyone’s names on them, which doubled as a cute souvenir. We also created a scavenger hunt incorporating Ocean City landmarks and activities, which was a fun way to explore the town.

Local Insights and Tips

After spending a week in Ocean City, we picked up some local knowledge that I think could be helpful for other bachelorette parties. For instance, if you want to see dolphins, your best bet is to head to the beach early in the morning or late in the afternoon. They’re most commonly spotted within 1-3 miles of the shoreline. For a unique photo op, check out the “Beach Ball Water Tower” on 1st Street and St. Louis Avenue. It’s 160 feet tall and holds 500,000 gallons of water – pretty impressive! If you’re looking for some off-the-beaten-path experiences, consider a trip to Assateague Island. It’s home to over 300 wild ponies and makes for a really cool day trip. We also visited the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum, which has artifacts dating back to the 1800s. It was a fascinating glimpse into the town’s history.

Practical Matters

When it comes to packing for your Ocean City bachelorette party, don’t forget the essentials like sunscreen, beach attire, and comfortable walking shoes. We also tried to be eco-friendly by bringing reusable water bottles and shopping bags. Safety is super important, especially when you’re in a new place. We made sure to designate a meeting point in case anyone got separated during our nights out. We also shared our locations with each other on our phones, which came in handy a couple of times. If you’re planning on spending time at the beach, be aware of rip current warnings and always swim near a lifeguard. The Ocean City Beach Patrol guards 10 miles of beach from 10 am to 5:30 pm daily during summer.

Bridesmaid for Hire: Your Ocean City Bachelorette Party Ally

Planning a bachelorette party can be a lot of work, especially if you’re trying to coordinate a big group. That’s where services like Bridesmaid for Hire can be super helpful. They offer customized planning services tailored to each group’s needs and can often secure group discounts and insider access to popular venues. One of the best things about using a professional planning service is that they can handle any unexpected challenges that come up. They act as a neutral party to mediate any conflicts, keeping the focus on celebrating the bride-to-be. Plus, they bring a wealth of experience from planning hundreds of successful bachelorette parties across various destinations. For example, we worked with Bridesmaid for Hire to plan a recent Ocean City bachelorette party. The bride wanted a mix of relaxation and adventure, so we organized a morning yoga session on the beach, followed by a thrilling parasailing experience in the afternoon. For the evening, we arranged a private chef to prepare a gourmet seafood dinner at their beachfront rental. This customized itinerary perfectly balanced the group’s diverse interests and energy levels.
