Happy Friday – time to paint the town RED! Oh – and go Pats!

Happy Friday, all! Below is a list of our scheduled activities for this coming week as well as some suggested activities in town and the surrounding area. As many of you know, this is certainly the quietest time of the year – which is a blessing for some, and one of the reasons why a lot of people come to visit – for peace, relaxation and having the beach totally to themselves! For those who are up for a little more fun and excitement you’ve picked a good time to come as well (we sure do have the best of both worlds here in Southern Maine)! Not only are the Patriots playing in this Sundays Superbowl (yes, we’re “wicked” excited – Maine is part of “New England” after all :D) but it’s also Kennebunk’s “Paint the Town Red” month. If you take a short drive north the town is decorated very ornately for Valentine’s Day – think red lights, giant hearts, great photo ops! There are also parties, red-plate specials at restaurants and fun events for couples all month long – think paint nights, cooking and mixology classes and much more. Visit gokennebunks.com for the list of all activities! If you are looking for a fun place to watch the Superbowl the front desk will have a list of some good places to enjoy at. Go Pats!

Beach Therapy

“If the ocean can calm itself so can you. We are both salt water mixed with air.”

This quote is so meaningful on a few different levels for me. Like most of us, I have days where I just need a break. A break from the, at times, mundane routines of life. A break from too many thoughts racing through my head, a break from the “what ifs” or thoughts of what needs to be accomplished but are no where near completion.

The beach is the BEST place to have this break. I feel beyond lucky to not only live, but work so close to my therapist: the ocean. InnSeason’s Falls at Ogunquit is a hop, skip and jump from not just one but three popular beaches that offer so many ways to unwind the mind. Even in the biting cold, the beach is a great place to escape.

Footbridge Beach is the closest beach to “The Falls”. You can walk out of your suite and have your feet in the sand in under ten minutes. Of course, with the ground being icy this time of year we suggest you take your time! Footbridge is a favorite for many for it’s simplicity. A narrow footbridge guides your way over the dunes to one of the most picturesque beaches around, with no businesses and hardly any homes to cloud your view, this beach really is secluded and peaceful. A great escape!

Ogunquit Beach, often called Main Beach, is the most popular by far. It is a bustling place in the summer, close to shops and restaurants but you can still catch plenty of people walking it’s white sand beaches into the winter, especially at sunset when the sky becomes painted in pinks and tangerines. This time of day is perfect to hop out of your car, take a few deep breaths and enjoy nature’s artwork. This beach is a mile south of the resort, very accessible, especially this time of year with ample parking. Convenient relaxation!

Finally, Wells offers several amazing beaches. Driving down Mile Road brings you to several of them. At the end of Mile Road you have a convenient parking lot that I associate with folks enjoying their lunch with a convenient and spectacular view. Seriously, it’s a great spot to have lunch in your car and I guarantee if you go you’ll see the majority of it’s visitors snacking on McDonalds French fries or a Subway grinder. If you decide to venture out of your car, like I did today, you have miles of packed sand beaches to walk. This is where I had my therapy session for today! I came across so many interesting patterns and treasures on the beach that it became a bit of an impromptu photoshoot. My favorite was an area littered with decaying lobster traps, filled with muscles and clams and seaweed. A perfect spot to recharge.

Just a half hour or so of being outside in the sun, making footprints in the sand was enough for me to feel a little more at peace, a little more centered and a LOT more grateful. Beach therapy may not solve all of life’s troubles but it certainly doesn’t hurt!
