And suggestions for beach camping anything different to think about or plan for. Sand wind etc. I know about watching the Awning in the Wind. Anything else?
Since you are located in the Northeast, you don't have to be concerned with possible Tsunamis. We do when we camp right on the WA, OR Coast.
Most locations have Tsunami sirens. Some don't. We have an app on our phones that is suppose to notify us. We also always scope out the suggested escape routes just in case.
