Newsle er Autumn 2019
vol.16
It’s hard to believe that the Summer season is over. Fall is fast approaching and we are ready for the cooler evenings, quieter beaches and great family fun events. Panama City Beach is fast becoming a year round vacation spot. We are not just for sunbathing and swimming. There is great seafood, fun events and yes, beautiful beaches. There is also a lot of places to get out and enjoy nature. St Andrews State Park has great walking trails, kayaking and fishing. The Conservation Park is a great place to take a long walk in the longleaf pine forest or take a bike ride through the trails. Paradise Adventures and Island Time Sailing are great catamaran cruises. There is so much nature to explore here. Fall is the perfect time to get out and explore some of Florida’s great State parks and with St Andrew’s being right next door, Venture Out Vacations is a great place to stay while you’re here exploring!

Travel Tips Bring a reusable bag for trash. Keep all your trash together and when you are heading off the beach, dump all your trash in the provided trash can. Take the bag home and wash, you could also use an old pillowcase. These options are better for the environment than plastic bags. Pack lunches separately. Pack lots of small lunch containers. When you bring lots of food in separate containers, if one sandwich falls onto the sand, you will only lose that sandwich, and not the whole lot. Keep a dust broom in the car. Buy a soft-bristled dust broom from any hardware store and keep it for brushing down any last sand from your body, clothes and footwear before you set off for the drive home. Bring cupcake liners. Place cupcake liners over the top of your drinks. They can keep both bugs and sand at bay. Cupcake liners can also be used to catch drips from popsicles. Apply leave-in conditioner to your hair. Both the sun and salt water can cause damage to your hair, and they can harm your color, too. To combat this, use a leave-in conditioner that contains a UV protection. Use lip balm. The sun, heat and salt water at the beach can dry your lips out, so ensure you regularly apply a lip balm containing SPF sun protection. Know when to apply and reapply sunscreen. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, you should apply sunscreen 30 minutes prior to sun exposure and apply in one ounce portions — about a shot glass full. You should reapply the same amount every two hours. Remember to apply sunscreen on sunless days, too, because as much as 40 percent of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays reaches our planet even on a totally cloudy day. Set your timer on your phone or write down the time to reapply on the sunscreen bottle using a marker.
