Beach Life

Heck of a way to kick off October! Happy Indian Summer!

We love to see our young local people in business and filling the east end with their creativity and drive. Check out Hidden Gem's pop up shop in the Amagansett Square. Owned by sisters Tanya and Temidra Willock, these young ladies have literally grown up before our eyes. They have always had wide interests and have worked hard to open their own shop. Stop in to their pop up in the Mandala Yoga space, Wednesdays through Mondays, 10am-5pm and pick up a little something for yourself or home. Shop local!

Pizza Night at Amber Waves is a Saturday night favorite and now you can pre-order yours for an easy peasy weekend dinner! Order yours at www.amberwavesfarm.org and see what else they have on the menu 😀

It's the last day of summer! Are you sad to see it go or happy to bring on fall? Either way, the beach still awaits, the stores and restaurants are open, and the trails beckon with just a hint of changing color on the leaves. This beautiful end-of-summer ocean image was captured by Juan Gonzalez.
