Since we live a mere ten minutes from the ocean, we are at the beach the majority of the time especially during the summer months.  Whether we spend the morning playing in the sand and surf or enjoy an evening stroll on the boardwalk, the beach has grown to become our home away from home.  The best part is that there are so many places to discover particularly since we have our choice of bay or ocean…only a very thin strip of land separates the two.  So, when we find a new spot, it’s always exciting to explore.  One of my favorite hidden corners is a small beach beyond the dunes where the ocean and the bay meet.  It’s a bit of a trek to get there but once we cross over that last dune, the expansive views and dramatic skyline are well worth the walk.  The other evening, we packed up turkey burgers, corn on the cob, watermelon and Rose’ (love this one) and had ourselves a family picnic on the beach.  The kids chased after frogs (one in particular seemed considerably traumatized), built sand castles and climbed on the rocks.  It was one of the best evenings I’ve had in a while and it served as a reminder to never take our proximity to the ocean for granted.  Here is a look at my casual beach style…a striped three quarter sleeve tee, denim shorts and my trusty panama hat.  Easy, effortless and classic….definitely my kind of look.
