There are many beaches one can visit for senior week besides Ocean City!
As the weather starts to warm up, seniors are starting to consider their senior week destinations, but what most don’t realize is that there are other spots to spend their week besides Ocean City.
While Ocean City is close and familiar, there are other beaches out there, so don’t be afraid to go against the norm and check them out.
Rehoboth Beach, Delaware:
Very close to Ocean City is Rehoboth Beach. Located in Delaware, Rehoboth has many aspects of O.C., such as it’s own boardwalk and many beach themed stores; however, this summer destination can have more of a relaxed feel than that of upbeat O.C.. Rehoboth is the perfect relaxing getaway to spend with friends before you all part ways.

Virginia Beach:
Just a few more hours away, Virginia Beach is a popular summertime destination that one could look into. One can have just as much fun here as at Ocean City– there’s a boardwalk, water parks, and more! For those who haven’t been to Busch Gardens before, one can drive over and visit during their week here.

Outer Banks, North Carolina:
For those who have visited OBX before, they know it is both beautiful and relaxing. One can simply enjoy a day on the beach right in front of the house they rented, or go out and explore if they choose. Many places throughout OBX offer paddle boarding, fishing, and more adventurous activities. If one is tired of the crowded beaches of O.C. and doesn’t mind a longer drive, OBX is the place!

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina:
Rent jet skis, go banana boating, take a dolphin cruise, or spend a day splashing in the waves in Myrtle Beach, SC. Like most beaches, Myrtle Beach also has a boardwalk, arcades, and amusement parks for tourists. Although it is much like other beaches, it is a nice change of scenery from that of OC. Furthermore, the further south you go, the clearer the water is.

Florida:
Miami Beach is a beautiful place to visit!
