Changing Seasons

The island has a different vibe at the end of August.

It’s cooler in the mornings. Quieter in the evenings. Fewer people are walking on the beach.

Those of us who work in tourist related businesses have mixed feelings. We welcome the slower pace, and look forward to the opportunity to enjoy the perks of living by the beach. Yet, there’s still a sense of melancholy.

We say goodbye to our summer friends and neighbors. We look at the calendar and realize there’s a limited time to visit our favorite seasonal restaurants. There’s an urgency to get out on our bike while the weather is so nice!

September is peaceful and often referred to as “the best month at the shore”.

And, we can also look forward to Memorial Day weekend 2026 🙂
