Shore Things One of the best things about an Ocean State summer is that first trip to the beach on a hot day. Even though it may have been many months since your toes were in the sand, it feels like yesterday, like childhood. We surrender our cares – and our hair – to the salty wind. The next best thing follows: the after-beach shower. Senses seem awakened by a day in the sun and somehow everything smells so nice. There are a host of bath and body products designed with that sensation in mind, perfect for switching up your routine for the season or holding onto that feeling all year long. Plus, they’re all made in Rhode Island.
Many of these items are available at small shops around the state. Check websites for stockists near you.
