Grab a loaner bike from the FBO and hit the trails to downtown and back. Then head to the end of the grass strip and swim under the covered bridge.

Venice, Fl - KVNC Park at the West end of the field, short (couple hundred yards) walk to public beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Or, opt for Sharky's on the Pier for lunch and a swim (a short walk distance South from there) or call me (VAF White Pages) , I'll come pick you up if you can't walk that far. Sharky's is one of Turbo's favorites. :D

W95 is about 100 yards to the beach. Accessible only by air or boat so not as crowded as a lot of places you can drive to. Here's a link to the airport website http://www.ocracokeairport.com -- you can see how crowded it is from the webcam.

Mustang Beach Airport, Texas (KRAS)
 
Port Aransas, about 1/4 mile from the beach. day trips recommended, bring your own tiedown ropes, and five bucks to stay overnight. Amelia's Landing aviation motif hotel if you decide to stay overnight. very cheap shuttle bus to town and back, and hotel has a courtesy car too.
