THE PERFECT BEACH SANCTUARY

July 23, 2014

A Menu for Edibles and Drinks

Summer time beach visits are a seasonal rite of passage. From East coast to West, to the Great Lakes, reservoirs, and ponds throughout the country – a beach visit is the ultimate celebration of summer. The beach is also one of the most universal forms of quiet, centered relaxation. Where we gather with our friends, rest, and appreciate the view.

While taking a bottle of water and a towel will get the job done, we’ve partnered with our friends at Food52 to create the perfect packing list for an all-day beach sanctuary – combining the quintessential summer experience with the bounty the season has to offer. All fit neatly into a cooler and will keep you satiated and refreshed all day.
