Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.

Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.

Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review.
