Children will be out trick or treating and we caution you to be careful if you’re driving around. Children should be dressed in bright colors and have reflective tape added to their costumes to ensure their safety. Wearing a headlamp and/or carrying a flashlight is a good idea, too. It’s a fact that children traveling in groups are far safer than going out alone.

All of us at Beachcomber Vacation Rentals would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Halloween season this year!
