My good friend Sara and I decided, because it was so hot out, to go to the beach. There is this secluded section of Horseneck Beach that is absolutely beautiful. It reminds me of the beach I used to go to in Hawaii. You have to take this long trail through the woods and walk through a sandy trail to get there.
The walk is a little tedious, but once you climb up the final hill and see the scenery , it's worth it. I thought the walk was a lot of fun, but I'm sure Sara swore under her breath a little on the way there because the sand was scaaalllding hot. But when she saw the spectacular view, our feelings became mutual.
We laid out, relaxed, played in the water for a little bit, and decided it would be smart to NOT wear sunblock today. Boy, were we in for a real treat. I currently have a fan under the desk, in between my legs, blowing at the back of my thighs and calfs. I'm dehydrated and my back is on fire. I sat for a good 20 mins with frozen vegetables on my back to try to alleviate the pain... No go.
On a good note, I made a memory that I will never forget with a great friend. Today couldn't have been any more perfect. The beach, the sun, the warm weather, sand, smiles, laughter and good food, is by far the best thing I could ask for. :) ... well maybe a not so burnt body too, but we can't always have it all.

Can you give me some directions to this spot? That is, if you don't mind sharing your secret.
If you know where The Back Eddy is in Westport, continue further down the road and you'll see a sanded parking lot. There you'll see the paths to the beach :)
