The heat index is in the triple digits, your favorite shaved ice stand has a mile-long line, and even your dog won’t leave the air-conditioned house without a bribe. If you need relief from the heat and the boredom of early summer, stay tuned: your adventure-seeking POMEs are inviting you to join them beside the seaside all week for a Very Special BEACH EPISODE!

Whether you’re a lifelong worshipper of the ocean or a land-lubbing first-timer, we’re extending you an extremely warm welcome. Today’s off to a light and breezy start, but by week’s end we’ll have a heaping helping of feels to toss into the midsummer night’s bonfire. Just bring your favorite sunnies and a towel – we’ve got everything else covered.
