Southern Living named Roque Bluffs beach one of their top 20 best secret beaches. And though I think it is one of the loveliest places in the world, I don't often think of it as beach beach. You know, one you might go swimming in. Every year I say maybe I'll go in! But it never happens. Today Chris and I took an afternoon walk and after a day of cleaning I have to admit I was looking longingly at the water and thinking how refreshing it would be. The next thing I know Chris was stripping down and swimming away. He proclaimed it not much colder than Rhode Island. I'm sure that's not true. But since I just stood at the edge I can not verify. Someday soon I will let you know.
No colder than Wekapaug beach!
