Start your day at:

I'd stop at Salty Market for a cappuccino and a piece of banana bread, or try the Egg & Cheese taco or Egg & Cheese on a jalapeño biscuit -- so many great choices to start the day.

Spend your morning taking a workshop at Castle Hill, offering almost every medium, with some of the best artists and writers in the country.

Grab lunch at Truro Box Lunch, then sit outside and relax or take it with you to the beach.

Spend the afternoon at Ballston Beach, then head over to Corn Hill for a beautiful sunset.

Treat yourself to a great ice cream cone -- "Ryder Beach Rubble" -- at Savory & the Sweet Escape, right on Route 6.

Enjoy a peaceful picnic at Corn Hill while watching the sunset over the bay.
