Beachfront Hotels: Introduction

Beachfront Hotels: Introduction- Memories from your beach vacation should involve the breeze in your hair and the sand in your toes — not the bill at the front desk. Budget Travel magazine’s challenge? To find 10 getaways under $150 that are less than a five-minute walk to the ocean's edge — a tall order for summer's peak season, when the average price of a waterfront hotel starts around $250 per night. Budget Travel steered clear of the Caribbean (hurricanes) and Southeast Asia (monsoons) to focus only on the most desirable summer destinations in places that don't strand you in the middle of nowhere (unless that's the point). The resulting collection of hotels and resorts, from the family-friendly mainstay of Myrtle Beach to Barcelona's sizzling shoreline, proves that wherever you want to go this summer, you can be right on the shore without breaking the bank.
