SPEND AN AFTERNOON ON THE SOUND
Whether it’s a weekday without camp and work, or a slow weekend morning, get everyone in the car and have breakfast at the beach. Pack up the sand toys, blankets and chairs, then pick up bagels or donuts on the way and head to West Beach. Parking is close to the sand, and everyone will enjoy the picnic outside before building a sandcastle and having some fun on the playground.
