Ahhh, the beach! The crashing waves, the salty air, the cool sand: I can’t get enough. Good snacks are important, too, and Carole has asked for our Ten Best Beach Snacks.
1. Pretzels. I like the honey wheat twists; I can pretend they have some health benefit.
2. Celery. I chop it into pretzel stick lengths. It’s pretty refreshing!
3. Watermelon. Again, chopped up into bite-sized pieces, it tastes great in the heat.
4. Cheese sandwich. Maybe a little mustard, maybe not.
5. Tomatoes. I like a baggie filled with sweet 100s or other one-biters.
6. Canada mints. If you have mustard on that cheese sandwich, you’ll want to freshen up your mouth.
7. Frozen water. It will serve as an ice pack, and then the sun will warm it up, and you can drink it.
8. Italian ice. If there is a cute guy selling ice creams from a cooler all along your beach, you can’t go wrong with a cherry Italian ice!
9. Cheese and crackers. As the sun starts to wane, consider it cocktail hour. Don’t worry, the frozen water has been keeping the cheese cool.
10. Glass of Chardonnay. Neal said “beer” when I asked him what the best beach snack was. I confess: I have never had a beer on the beach. I’ve had plenty of glasses of vino, though only during that sun-starting-to-wane part of the day!
What are your favorite beach snacks?
Mmmmm. Sign me up for that cherry Italian ice. (Well, and the glass of Chardonnay, too. . .)
I’ve spent too little time on the beach, but a piña colada comes to mind. 😉
Beer is good on the beach but wine is great when the sun starts to go down.
beer! and pretzels 🙂
…frozen water is a great idea! and I need to track down those canada mints 🙂
