AKING A BREAK from shopping,
entertaining and socializing by
soaking in some natural beauty over
a well-prepared meal can be just the
rejuvenation needed to finish the busy
Thanksgiving-to-Christmas season
with a fresh perspective. Empty-nesters,
retired couples, young marrieds, dating
couples, or perhaps those who simply
need a break from extended family can
find respite with a table for two in a less
traveled setting.
This time of year, having a meal with
a loved one can rekindle connections
and provide a special holiday spark.
Enjoying it amid the idyllic setting of
the coastal spoil and barrier islands
after the tourists have all gone home
and many of the college students are on
break can be memorable.
Just because winter’s clutches are clos-ing
in doesn’t mean the hidden sandy
dunes aren’t as special and inviting as
the summer months for some dining or
glamping fun. In fact, some say it’s the
best time of year because of the lack of
crowds, mosquitoes, humidity and boat
traffic. Whatever the reason, taking
time out to slow down in this busiest of
seasons is important to help reprioritize.
And what better way to do so than on
an easy yet adventurous getaway with
your favorite person?

Incorporating simple coastal elements
with a neutral palette and a touch of
holiday flair will bring an understated
and relaxed, yet elegant vibe to the
table.
