We all know that New Englanders are a hardy bunch as proven by having to put up with these long, cold, snowy winters. It is not well-known, but New Englanders are also pretty hardy during the summer, too. In faraway lands where beach goers run for cover the minute one cloud appears in the sky, New Englanders often thumb their noses, collectively, to the changing weather scenario and carry on by enjoying their beach day. Want further proof? Take a look at this Short Sands Beach, York Beach, Maine, summer scene where virtually everyone ignored this ominous cloud cover... Do you think this is a result of determination to enjoy the beach day no matter what, or just being plain crazy? Your thoughts?

Sometimes the end of the day can feel like just the beginning. After a long, fun day in the York Beach, Maine, summer sun, the crowds lessen, the sky and ocean take on dramatic colors, the imposing rocky coast appears to relax a little, and the thick, humid air starts to refreshingly thin out. Add a touch of Mother Nature's Maine Division patent on salt sea air and a soft summer breeze, and you'll never want to leave. It's truly a magical travel moment in New England! Having to leave soon after experiencing New England travel nirvana is particularly frustrating when on a day trip. Enjoying the moment, however, and reveling in this one-of-a-kind feeling that the Maine coast provides is always the road map to embark on for the memories will last forever.
