We’re going back to Memorial Day 61 years ago, May 1965. Stone Harbor celebrated Memorial Day by having its beach patrol row wreaths out to sea in a lifeboat.

Long before the days of Wawa on the Seven Mile Beach, there were local neighborhood grocers.

Greetings, friends and welcome to Summer 2026. As parades march proudly down the street and the beaches officially reopen, there’s a special kind of excitement in the air, for sure.

As summer begins, it’s worth remembering that Oregon wine is often reduced to a simpler story than it deserves. For many drinkers, the conversation still begins and ends with Pinot Noir. That reputation is justified, but it is no longer sufficient.

Every summer, our barrier island communities of Avalon and Stone Harbor fill with people who take their health seriously. Morning runs, paddleboard sessions, clean eating, good wine in moderation. They are doing a lot of things right.

We wait all year for summer, that long stretch of sun-soaked days when the beach becomes our favorite place to unwind. For me, part of that anticipation is building the perfect reading list, the stack of books that somehow feel made for salty air and sandy toes.

Perhaps you are familiar with the phrase, “Youth is wasted on the young,” a quote commonly attributed to George Bernard Shaw. I remember hearing it often when I was younger, living my best life in our first shore house – 10 guys in a two-bedroom garage apartment with no screens or modern amenities.

As the school year winds down and summer begins, it’s the perfect time to head to the beach, relax, and dive into a good book.
