Thanksgiving by the Sea: Our Favorite Family Tradition
There’s something special about spending Thanksgiving at the beach. The air feels crisp, the waves a little calmer, and the pace a little slower. Every year, our family trades bustling kitchens and city traffic for the quiet beauty of the coast, where the sound of the ocean becomes our holiday soundtrack.
November by the beach means cozy sweatshirts, long walks by the water, and bike rides that end just in time to catch the sunset. We always start the day with coffee from our favorite local spot before heading out for a morning ride or stroll down the shoreline. Even when it’s too chilly to swim, we find that the simple moments like laughing together, feeling the sand beneath our feet, and breathing in the salty air are what make the holiday unforgettable.
After a day outdoors, there’s no better feeling than heading home, slipping into our Hadleys Bungalow pajamas and gathering around the table for dinner. It’s our favorite part of the day, that moment of warmth, comfort, and gratitude that reminds us what truly matters.
This season, we’re reminded of one of our favorite verses:
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
— Philippians 4:6
Thanksgiving is a beautiful time to pause, reflect, and thank God for His blessings, both big and small. Whether it’s the laughter that fills your home, the steady rhythm of the waves, or the simple joy of a cozy evening in, there’s so much to be grateful for.
If you’re planning your own cozy weekend getaway, shop our best-selling lounge sets. They’re perfect for Thanksgiving mornings, movie nights, or slow coffee moments by the sea.
Psalm 100:4 reminds us to:
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.”
This Thanksgiving, we hope you approach God with gratitude for what he has already done. Whether it’s by the coast, in the mountains, or right at home, soak in the time with your loved ones, share a few laughs, and make memories that last a lifetime.
From our family to yours,
Happy Thanksgiving from Hadley’s Bungalow
