Sure, going to the beach with your family is fun, but it's a whole different experience when you bring your best friend along.
1. The long car rides go by quicker

A two hour car ride can feel like 30 minutes when you have a buddy with you in the backseat.
2. You have someone to take pictures with

And of course you force your little brother to be your personal photographer.
3. It's a sleepover every night
Sam Margolis
The entire vacation is like one big slumber party. Staying up late, eating snacks, watching movies, and laughing at nothing are the best parts.
4. You make your own fun when you get bored
Kasey Walker
When you're with your bestie, you'll find the dumbest things amusing and everything becomes hilarious. Even something as simple as using the self-timer to take pics in the pool.
5. You make more memories together
Sam Margolis
Going to the boardwalk, swimming, shopping, or even just going out to eat together down the shore make for some great memories.
6. They become part of your family (even more than they already were)
Kasey Walker
When you go to the beach and bring your friend along, they get to experience what it's like to be around your family for an extended period of time. They will quickly discover that we're all crazy, but they still love us anyway.
