Before man conquered his fear of water, he amused himself with dust sports such as pushing boulders off cliffs, wrestling tumbleweeds, and falling in the dust. Embrace the friendly sea with today's Groupon: for $25, you get a day at the beach with two beach chairs (a $10 value each), an umbrella (a $10 value), and valet parking for one vehicle (a $20 value) at the Bentley Beach Club on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach.
Located just behind the grandeur of the Hilton Bentley Beach, the Bentley Beach Club provides the archetypal beach-going experience for sand-loving ocean aficionados. Let a kindly member of the valet staff rip your vehicle out of your white-knuckled grip and park the automobile as you saunter out back to enjoy gleaming sand and crystalline blue waters, shedding stress like a snake shedding its tongue. Bring along a guest to share the rental of two comfy beach chairs, or simply use one to prop up a mannequin that resembles the first three U.S. presidents. One umbrella provides shady relief from the hot rays of the sun and the cool glances of uppity gulls. Frequent beach visitors and guests stopping by after dipping themselves in a gooey layer of rubber cement alike can enjoy the luxuries of a private beach experience, with food and beverage options available (not included in this Groupon).
Reservations required; 24-hour cancellation policy.

Groupon Says
Sitcom Vacations
Beach clubs are a great way to break up a routine—the fun-loving teens of Rescued by the Bells even spent an entire season at one. Every sitcom has wound up spending at least a few episodes on vacation at one point or another. What are some other instances?
Wings: The gang takes a break from the airport by running a cab stand in New York City for a few days.
Cheers: Norm vacations inside Cliff's mind using one of Frasier's controversial psychiatry experiments.
Perfect Strangers: Larry and Balki spend a week inside an active volcano. (This episode never aired due to excessive nudity.)
Home Improvement: The Taylors relocate to the hospital for several months when Tim severs all of his limbs with a souped-up leaf blower.
60 Minutes: Everybody spends a month in Lesley Stahl's haunted mansion instead of spending time in the big stopwatch where they usually live.
