Beach Day
There’s quiet joy in small rituals: applying sunscreen with careful, patient motions; sipping a cold Del’s that shocks pleasantly against the heat; standing at the waterline and daring the first cold rush before the body remembers and relaxes. Watches and deadlines matter less; the day is measured in tides and how long it takes to fall asleep on a towel.
Ride your bike to the beach! Light and shadow play on this beach fencing in front of the Narragansett Beach Pavilion. The perfect ride.
