It is hard to believe that the dog days of July have come and gone. August always has a different feel to it— the water is warmer and everyone is trying to soak up these precious last weeks of the season.

Here are our recomendations of things to check off your bucket list this August:

Music at Main Beach, East Hampton

If you haven’t yet, make sure to check out Main Beach’s Taco Tuesdays with live music. If you dont want to wait at the beach hut for tacos, we recommend calling the blue parrot early for take out.

Beach Bonfire

If you haven’t yet, now is the time to gather your friends and family for a beach bonfire— preferably just before sunset. Just make sure to follow all beach rules including using a container and having a bucket of water nearby.

Go for a bike ride

THere’s nothing quite like taking a beach cruiser out for a spin. he roads are busier than ever, so we suggest sticking to back roads and quieter locations.

Sail into the Sun

If you haven’t been on a boat yet this summer, this is your sign to get out on the water! There are so many great options for private sails or cruises— or better yet, find a friend with a boat & enjoy!

Explore other hamlets

We are guilty of mostly sticking to East Hampton this summer, but we must make sure to visit some other villages for a change. If you’re like us and have been avoiding traffic, try timing your adventure to be midday, early in the week.

What is on your bucket list for the rest of summer?
