Local Tip

Shop Before You Go, Then Shop Local

To make arrival day easier, pick up as many essentials as you can before heading south. Farmers markets along the way are a great stop for fresh produce. Once you're here, look beyond the big chain stores: many smaller grocers have their own butchers, and local beach shops and dollar stores carry everything you need for the sand. Shopping small helps keep our local businesses thriving.
