Off season vacations to the beach mean modest clothing
It is the first week of March and my family and I just returned from a week at the beach in beautiful Santa Barbara, California. I think this is the first time I have ever gone to the beach during the "off season". One of the things I could not help but notice was how differently the beach bums were dressed. Usually, California in July means a myriad of bikinis, sun-tanned bodies, and other folks trying to show off what "momma gave them", but California in March was all about hoodies, jeans, and other modest women's clothing. Obviously, the whole world has not taken up the modest clothing movement. But it was strange to see so many beach dwellers in modest clothing, even if it was just the brisk weather forcing people to cover up.
Our family was a little unsure of what to expect from an off season beach trip. We were pleasantly surprised with the less crowded beaches, the lower prices (everything was discounted), and the warmth of a good wet suit. We were able to do just about everything we usually do - including surfing, boogie boarding, sea creture hunting (during low tide), and long walks on the beach.
