The residents of seasonal resorts must annually accommodate to the influx of large numbers of vacationers. This study conducted in two beach communities reveals that vacationers impact many aspects of people's lives, causing them to cur tail certain activities and causing deterioration of some parts of their communities. However, residents are also economically dependent upon visitors and benefit from the services and facilities which cater to tourists. On balance, most permanent resi dents are satisfied with their communities and their development. Hence, it is appar ent that communities can reconcile the demands of residential and commercial growth without destructive conflict.
