This was our fourth year and we loved it again. We rented a kayak and took all the kids (7 of them) out for rides in the ocean. We rented a motor boat and got chased in by a thunder storm. We tried to sail on a calm day--that one is a doover. We saw some pretty terrific surf when Hurricane Bill wafted by out to sea.
Our favorite is low tide for the tide pools and calmer ocean. Everyone got a chance to swim this year. And our labrador retreivers--let's just say, they have mastered the art of being a beach bum!!
And for me, its the only place I really feel relaxed!
