You're going to have lots to do at Tropical Nights: Boots in the Sand next month in sunny Riviera Maya, Mexico.

From Feb. 23-27, you'll be part of a country music event you'll never forget. Besides experiencing the great country shows from Dierks Bentley, Billy Currington, Brantley Gilbert and Jana Kramer, you'll have your days to just sit and relax far away from the cold and snow in Maine.

Sure, there are six (count 'em six) pools at the Hard Rock Hotel, but sometimes there's no substitute for a sandy beach. In that spirit, here are five things you can do in the sand while wait for that evening's show!

    Take a Walk on the Sand

    There's nothing like a long walk on the beach with your sweetie to help you relax while on vacation. The Hard Rock resort has plenty of beachfront activities such as lounging and water activities. Having some along time with your sweetie is fun, but remember, you might be able to hang out with some of the artists, too! That's fun!
