I'm on the road again (in Chicago now -- gino's!!) and my girlfriend really wants to go to a nice sandy beach in Massachusetts or Maine, anyone have any advice?

Thanks in advance!

Jersey Shore.

hampton, nh.

Here's some pictures from my trip so far.

Wow, it's about time someone comes up here in Maine.

Go to Old Orchard Beach, Maine. (It's in old orchard if the name wasn't a give away).

It's really really long, sandy has plenty of hotels and motels, has bars clubs...just about everything right on the shore.

Ah thanks! I know this is lame but, we liked chicago so much that we stayed instead of going to the east coast. I'm in Fargo, ND now since I've never driven through this part of the country before.

Old Orchard Beach, ME - Lots of beach and a really fun night club called The Pier.
Or if you want to go mountain biking and enjoy nature go to Acadia national park in Maine. It's right on the coast, its rated like the third most beautiful national park I think.

for MA, I don't know... just goto Boston if you've never been there. Theres alot to do there. Though seems like every time I go there I end up drinking before going to the beach. :p
If you end up heading south from there,
Virginia Beach, VA - kinda touristy and tons of hotels but huge beach
Nags Head, NC - Went hang gliding off sand dunes and kayaking here, was fun.
Myrtle Beach, SC - Golf :)

Edit: Guess I should've read the full post :P
ND isn't that great, the south western corner of South Dakota has all the fun stuff.

haha thanks, ill keep all that in mind for next summer. I'm just about home now :p
