The Fresh Air and Warm Sunshine are Good for Your HealthSpending the afternoon outside on a winter beach vacation gives you more vitamin D, and salt water also has surprising health benefits with its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties.

A trip to the beach in winter is the purest form of escape. There is no worry about the weather. A summer beach vacation can be knocked off course by a few days of rain, but not a winter trip.
