So, as you pack away your summer clothing and prepare for a long winter’s hibernation, you might want to drag out that atlas and magnifying glass and investigate the beaches in your area. Start small and local, and you can start now, saving the big trips and distant beaches for next summer’s travels. It’s never too late to adopt a new hobby, and one like sand collecting is not only rewarding, but can be a wonderful excuse for finally making those reservations for distant destinations.
