My wife and her friends want to go to the beach (ocean)
this weekend; one day (Saturday) is all that is possible
due to prior commitments.

There will be at least 12 people, perhaps as many as 14
and I have looked for vans biggger than a mini-van
(a 7 person van is a tall station wagon - not a van)
but I have had very little luck.

All I have been able to find for the weekend has been is a 15
person van ($129/day + $.20/mile > 100) via Budget which would
cost approx $173 for a 1 day trip to Ocean City.  When I called
back to get it, they were sold out.

I am looking for either a cheaper and/or smaller van.  Perhaps
you know someone who would rent their van or would be willing to
drive to the beach for a day for some compensation?

I have also been looking at other beaches to go to
within a 2.5 hour ride from Washington.  I am not a
beach person (I burn quite nicely) so I have not looked
into the beaches in Maryland or Delaware before.
Shady Point near Annapolis is our current target if we
can not find a larger van.

Are there any nice beaches on the DC side of Chesapeake Bay?
