All three of them are great kids. Her friends are 16 and 17 years old. My daughter has never given us one bit of trouble. Now she's got her license and wants to explore. The beach is about 2 hours away. I'm hesitant to let her go without a chapperone. What do you all think?

I think you can let her go. Set a definite time for her to be back and make sure she has a cell phone with her.

Parents find it hard to watch their little girl grow up and let them go freely into "the big wide world". My dad at most times won't let me go to the pub at 10 o’clock at night after work which is less than 10 minutes walk away from home, but this is only because he cares about me not because he wants to rule my life (I’m 18 by the way). What I suggest is try and explain to your parents that you are growing up and will become an adult soon. Promise them that you will call them every know and then to let them know that you have arrived at the beach safely, you're having a good time, you just left the beach to come home etc. If they have rules, listen to them, you may not want to follow them all but if you do, your parents will respect and trust you more and will give you more freedom. Promise them you will call them if you having any trouble. Also if you say that you will return at home at 7pm do that not 11pm because they will lose trust in you. These are only just a few pointers but I do hope they help and good luck and have fun at the beach ^_^

Let her go. Does she have a cell phone? All teens that drive should have a cell phone, in case of an accident or emergency. Have her call you when she gets there.
She's 16.
I was running off with 17 year old boys that could drive when I was 14. I was fine, as long as my mom knew who I was with, and when I'd be back.

If it was my kid, that would be a big fat no.
She can go when she's 18. But not now.
You even said you're hesitant.
Just tell her no.
No questions asked, your word is law.
2 hours away at the beach at age 16, You're asking for trouble.
Put your foot down. You don't want her to go, so don't let her.
She's given you trouble, which means she's not proven herself to be worthy of going away for the entire weekend.
No means no.
She'd not step one foot out of my house.

Let your daughter explore my dear if she's a good girl like you say she is, relax yourself stop worrying she be fine and love and respect you for that she got 2 good friends Sounds to me they just want to enjoy themselves and have some time to themselves privately without a chapperone :0)

At sixteen, she should be fine to go by herself, just give her a time to be home, and tell her to call when she gets there, and when shes leaving so that way you know shes made it there and back safe and had no trouble! You should trust your daughter, she sounds to me like a responsible young lady, and has only you to thank for that!

Nothing is going to happen. You should really just let her go. Call to check in every couple of hours...but theres nothing to be to hesitant about. There's not going to be any drinking, she's driving and they're going to a public place. She'll be fine. She sixteen, in less then two years she'll be off at college living alone. let her go.

You should let her go, but call her at a prearranged time every day she's gone just to check in on her. If she's a good kid and so are her friends, and you trust them, let her go for a couple days. It'll help you guys build a better parent-child relationship. :)
