About Travel & Places

A seaside town has its own unhurried rhythm — the tide marking the hours, the smell of salt and engine oil drifting up from the harbor, and the distant music of a bandstand carried on the breeze. Families spread out along the promenade in the warm months, children darting between kiosks and the edge of the surf, while the pier stretches out over green water like a welcoming arm. Even out of season, when the arcades fall quiet and the bunting comes down, the town keeps its character: gulls riding the updrafts above the seawall, a buoy rocking steadily offshore, and the lighthouse lantern turning through the dark.
