Oh, Spring! Spring Equinox March 20, 1:14 am EDT

We really never know if Spring is here or not… Most of the time Winter lingers like she doesn’t want to leave us, and one day we all feel “Spring” is here! What a glorious time! Whale watching boats are back in the Harbor, Monument re-opens, painters paint fences, carpenters fix houses, new signs are going up, windows shine, UPS working over time… all town is getting ready for New Season! Welcome, welcome our dear visitors!!

Winter Solstice December 21, 6:12 am EST

Winter cold? Nah! Great time to relax, reflect, pamper yourself, relish solitude…
Look for snowflake in our listings for businesses open year-round… Eat out! 2 for 1 at Napi’s… warm fireplace at Michael Shay’s… drink or two at Jimmy’s Hideaway… breakfast at Far Land Provisions… local buzz at Fanizzi’s, great buys at Hersheldon’s Leather and Utilities, beautiful jewelry at Womencrafts… Monument with lights, walk at dunes, sometimes snow… Lots of bargains at accommodations… and sky! OMG! Winter sky is the BEST! By the way, our Winter season really starts on evening of Thanksgiving Day, that when all town gathers under the Monument to light the Lights… Festival of Lights begins…
