Got Beach? Get it on your Vacation!

I love staying at hotels next to beaches. The closer, the nicer, and cheaper -- the better! Well, Hilton Waterfront isn't cheap. However, it does have a beach across the street and views from many rooms. Just pay attention when book to pay for the ocean view. The hotel also has some fantastic suites. The surfer pictured is an upscale traveler with the hotel seen in the background. However, there is no private beach here. The public is free to wander all Huntington Beach beaches. Enjoy -- and maybe spend the night.


Sports Photography

Most beach sports photographers don't make a full time living in the trade, but they do have fun. Some of the best surf photographers, for instance, are surfers, themselves.

People Pictures

Everyone can take sunsets. Stock agencies have far too many. People pictures for editorial and advertising are in demand. If you can see a face, get a photo release!
