Enjoy a clam/lobstahh bake, end the night with a great fire, toasting s’mores, and seeing the stars. Really seeing them! Listen to and see wildlife. Celebrate your children’s graduation from one of the many universities around. Celebrate having a nice little holiday with your loved ones. Even consider a small anniversary or wedding here. Pick lavender at one of the few farms around. Eat local, go fishing, paddle boarding, enjoy a book and or making a sand castle at one of the local beaches. The activities are endless!
