Sandbars

As you might have noticed from some of our previous blogs, the ocean plays a special role in our lives. Perhaps its consistent rhythm, mystery, or acrobatic wave crashes that possess fragments of our souls all year long—even though we live in New England and only have like three months of good beach days a year. One of its wonders that enthrall any lover are it’s sandbars. There are all different types of sandbars, each of which boast their own unique pleasure. Some sandbars only emerge at low tide as long secretive aisles jutting far out into the remote sea, unveiled by the changing of the tides. These sun beaten ocean sidewalks can be the ideal location for a mid summer stroll with the appropriate lady friend. Both in bathing suits, water all around, playful splashing environment, not many other people around, I’m definitely in my zone. Other sandbars can be reached by boat, or perhaps surfboard—paddling out to an area shallowly concealed by water where the swell is just raging. Spot it from shore, make it happen, go out and catch a few curlers out in the middle of the ocean with your buddies, good night Jim Kite! Or maybe you pull up on your boat, anchor up, plop down some lawn chairs if it’s shallow enough, and watch the sunset with your feet chillin’ in the water and a cold beverage in your hand. Sandbar days in the summer are some of the best of the entire year. If you haven’t got out to one recently, I highly recommend doing so. It’s easy, and they’re some of the most wild, untouched streaks left on planet earth. Sandbars are unreal.
