We get to the beach 5-6 times a year. Have a 5th wheel camper and live 250 miles from the Gulf coast in MS. Have 4 large Corp of Engineers flood control lakes within 50 miles. All have multiple swimming beaches.
Not as much as I would like. I am a Surf-caster and used to hit the beach (200 miles away) once a month and a good week in Nov. But, It has slowed down now for various reasons. Maybe 2-4 times a year but, MD is always in hand, even when I'm fishing.
