Relaxing in the Sun at the Gulf Coast in the Fall

When most of us think about going to the beach, the thought is that you head to the ocean during the warmest months of the year. The thought of cooling in the water during the scorching heat of August attracts many families to the Gulf Coast. We used to be one of those people until we discovered that fall is an ideal time to head to the Gulf Coast to relax in the sun.

We found this out by accident when we combined a work trip and a family vacation to the Gulf Coast of Florida in mid-October. We weren't sure what the weather would be like, but we knew that we would just be paying a fraction of what we normally pay for the house we usually stay in. The idea of staying just off the beach for less than $800 for an entire week was one that we could not pass up.

What we discovered when we got there was that the weather was perfect. It was in the 80s during the day and still warm enough to enjoy the Gulf waters or swim in the swimming pool. We loved that most days we were the only people at the pool and that the nearest family on the beach was about 25 yards away. The shops were all still open, but we didn't have to fight the crowds to look. There was no wait at any of the restaurants, which was a plus for a family with 2 ½ year old twins!

Essentially, we found fall in the Gulf Coast of Florida to be the ultimate time of year to go. It was relaxing, it saved us a ton of money and we didn't have to share our space with hundreds of other tourists. The weather couldn't have been better. We now head to the Gulf Coast every fall for our family vacations, which is something we all look forward to every year.
