4. Full Moon Beach Walks

There’s nothing quite like the moonlight bouncing off the waves as you stroll the shoreline. Don’t forget to bring a flashlight—and maybe spot some ghost crabs and other sea creatures while you’re at it!

5. Moonrise Picnics on the Beach, Stargazing & Storytime

Pack your favorite treats and head to to the beach to watch the moon rise over the ocean with friends and family—it’s one of the most peaceful and beautiful ways to spend a summer evening.  After the sun sets and the moon rises, snuggle up on a blanket and read your favorite story  while gazing at the stars. It’s a relaxing and magical way to wind down the day.
