🎆 Fourth of July Fun: Our Favorite Ways to Celebrate Coastal Maine Style! 🇺🇸
Happy Fourth of July from all of us at Salt & Shine! ✨
There’s nothing quite like the magic of Independence Day on the Maine coast—sparkling ocean views, salty breezes, and the crackle of fireworks lighting up the night sky. Whether you’re here for a quick getaway or soaking in a whole week of summer bliss, we wanted to share a few of our favorite ways to make your Fourth extra festive:
🎇 Catch the Fireworks on the Beach
From Long Sands to Short Sands, there’s no better place to spread out a blanket, dip your toes in the sand, and watch the fireworks dance across the ocean. Don’t forget the s’mores supplies!
🍔 Host a Red, White & Blue BBQ
Our vacation homes have dreamy outdoor spaces perfect for grilling burgers, skewering veggies, and serving up a patriotic feast. Add a fruit salad with strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream for a sweet, star-spangled touch.
🎨 Get Crafty with the Kids
Keep little hands busy with easy DIY crafts: paper plate flags, star-studded headbands, or sidewalk chalk murals celebrating the stars and stripes. Snap photos—they make adorable memories!
🎵 Set the Summer Soundtrack
Turn up the volume on your favorite Americana hits—think Bruce Springsteen, Dolly Parton, and Zac Brown Band—and let the music set the mood for your holiday celebrations.
🌊 Cool Off Coastal-Style
Nothing says summer like a dip in the ocean. Grab your beach towel, sunscreen, and maybe a festive swimsuit, and head to the shore for a salty splash.
❤️ Reflect on the Holiday
Take a moment between the parades and picnics to remember the meaning of Independence Day and celebrate the freedom we cherish.
Wherever your Fourth of July plans take you, we hope your day is filled with laughter, love, and a little extra sparkle. Thank you for choosing to spend your summer with us—we’re grateful to have you as part of our Salt & Shine family!
Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸
