beaches - Trendy Mommies

This summer is going by so fast! Between our Cape Cod vacation and our beach trips I cannot believe it is almost the end of July!

Sometimes you just have to sit and relax. This photo was taken at my last beach day and while the temperatures are hitting record highs it was a cooler, calmer day. Between work and running errands with the girls I can get quite busy. Some days you just have to take a breath and relax. Isn’t that what beach days are for? What is your favorite beach?

There are so many I love in New England. There are also my favorite beaches in Italy. I will be venturing to Italy in a few weeks so cannot wait to experience the food, fun, Aperol Spritz and more!

Goditi l’estate!

Beach Days are the best days!

I think I see the sun! This weather so far this season has not been the greatest and that is why I am grateful for day trips. As we live close to Boston a quick day trip to the beach is a quick drive. We have to prepare for a beach trip – as in get your parking space in advance as many local beaches have now implemented this system. However, there are still many places to go where you can just show up and park without prior reservations. My two favorites are:

Ogunquit – A quick Sunday morning trip entails getting up at around 6:00 am and heading to the parking lot right at Ogunquit beach where we walk Marginal Way, have breakfast and then plop down on the sand. Make sure to check the tides before you go as at high tide the sand disappears. Prices on the weekend can be as high as $35.

Salisbury – At the state reservation you can just pull up and pay. I do believe it is $14 dollars. After your beach day head to Browns for a lobster or clams!

Happy Summer!
