I read on the Panama Travels blog about beach camping at Isla Iguana and I gotta say the idea of camping on the beach never sounded better (though the fact that it’s late January and raining outside might have something to do with the feeling ). The author laments the fact there is no running water for showers or drinking and an outhouse is the only restroom - but that seems like a small price to pay for such amazing beauty and tranquility.

I’ve only camped on (near) the beach once in my life but it was an amazing experience to say the least. Our group stayed at Edisto Beach State Park on Edisto Island, SC. As I recall it rained at least one night we were out but it really didn’t matter - the warm salt breeze and sound of rustling palmettos seemed to take me away to another place entirely. The beach was nearly deserted except for our fellow campers and the natural beauty of the place was unlike any that of any beach vacation spot I had been to.

If you’re looking for a beach vacation to escape the winter blues try a search on tripleblaze.com for beach campgrounds where you’ll find spots from Virginia to Florida to the coast of California. Just don’t forget to clean the sand out of your tent when you get back!
