Beachside (Andrew x Claire)

Andrew almost felt as if he was going to explode with happiness. He had Rowen in her sling on his front, the little baby snoozing away happily. Ruby had a better temperament with others but Ro was his girl through and through. Ivy rode on his back as they walked to the beach and the man loved hearing her little giggles. He set her down with a soft grunt on the beach, afraid Rowen would wake. She simply snuggled deeper into him and he hiked her up a little bit higher. “Can I have ice cream?” Ivy asked, softly pulling on the man’s pant leg. He smiled as she eagerly accepted the bill from him. “Thank you, daddy!” She said, skipping to the ice cream truck. She had never called him that and he felt himself getting emotional. “We may need to see if me or Ro is going to cry first,” he told Claire with a soft chuckle. @clrefoy

ZEPHYR BAY BEACH BONANZA

Join us for a week long celebration of the grand opening of Zephyr Bay! With summer so close we can taste it, now is the perfect time for everyone to have fun in the sun, build up that base tan, and enjoy the mild costal weather of the Northeast shore. There will be activities going on each day, so if you miss out on some of the shenanigans, don't worry! We have plenty of things to keep you busy (and a reason to keep procrastinating unpacking...).

DATES: Saturday, May 27 until Friday, June 2

For the full itinerary and list of activities, take a look under the cut!

ITINERARY:

Saturday — all day food trucks and drink vendors to satisfy your stomach with a bonfire starting after dusk; if you're the outdoorsy type, pitch your tent on the shore and sleepover!

Sunday — morning "hangover cleanse" yoga and a day filled with your favorite beach games, like bocce ball, volleyball, frisbee and more!

Monday — go horseback riding along the shoreline or take a boat trip out on the harbor to fish or simply enjoy the ocean with a drink in hand

Tuesday — Starlight Boardwalk is offering half price admission all day Tuesday, with a special summer fireworks show at the end of the evening

Wednesday — the planetarium staff will be set up on the beach with their telescopes for an educational evening filled with stargazing over the open ocean

Thursday — a few locals have agreed to give surfing lessons, and there will be jet skis and private boats for rent for tubing and other water sports

Friday — end the week with a low key, relaxed beach picnic; stop by anytime to grab your complimentary meal and socialize with your new neighbors, then grab a drink and party it up for the rest of the night with live music and entertainment!

GENERAL ACTIVITIES:

Between special events happening exclusively during the beach bonanza, it's a great time to explore the harbor and beach and all it has to offer! Below is a list of locations and general activities that can be enjoyed during the week outside of the events specific to our welcome week extravaganza!

Need some grub? Or maybe your sweet tooth is kicking in? We have a few recommendations! If you're more of a bruncher, The Hen's Nest has a great selection of brunch favorites, including bottomless mimosas! Honey Do has a wide variety of pastries, cookies, cakes, and other tasty treats to sate that sugar craving. Spritz Fish House provides one of the most upscale dining experiences in town, with seating on the harbor – perfect for a romantic first date to impress!

If you're more in the market for a straight drink, we've got you covered. Happy Hooligans may look like a dive, but don't let its appearance fool you – they serve great cocktails and seasonal beer while also offering a small menu of greasy but delightful seafood favorites like fish & chips and fried shrimp! Southbound Brewing Authority brings the best beer game in town, with a plethora of seasonally rotating draft beers as well as their set collection of house made brews. And if you're feeling more partial to something that won't get you buzzed, Purrfect Cup Café is a great way to spend an afternoon. Their coffee is amazing, but even more exciting is this cat café's furry residents looking for their forever homes!

There is plenty of shopping around the harbor, but we have some fan favorites we know our residents are sure to enjoy. Scratched offers used and new vinyls for that record player you still haven't set up in your living room. For the plant parents of town, Terracotta Pot has everything you need to start your summer garden and prepare for harvest season in the fall. Last but certainly not least is Zephyr Bay's Farmer's Market, where you can peruse rows upon rows of farm fresh fruits and veggies, flowers, honey, and homemade goodies like jams and pickles!

If you're looking to blow off some steam or find a sports team to join, Runner's High Intramural Sports Complex boasts multiple sports fields including the highly sought after pickle ball! If you're more of an indie music aficionado, check out Revolution Street, where local bands play every night. We saved the best for last – Starlight Boardwalk could keep you (and your kids, if you have them) busy for days. Play all your favorite fair games, take a ride on the tilt-a-whirl or any of the other amusement park rides, and stop by one of the many food stalls and trucks for fried dough, roasted turkey legs, and other fair food faves!
