Post-spa trip, you very well may be ready to doze off due to your relaxed state! If you’re feeling rather lethargic but don’t want to miss the day, plop down on the beach and settle in for a peaceful afternoon. Consider setting up a beach umbrella to provide yourself some shade, grab your beach-read and soak in some moments that are completely disconnected from technology.
If your tummy starts rumbling after a stint of sunbathing, you have many nearby restaurants to choose from. If you don’t want to wander far, mosey on up to one of the area’s best beach bars. It’s the ideal place for cold drinks, yummy food and a relaxed, casual atmosphere. Or, if you’re in the mood to change your view, consider a riverfront restaurant, where fresh-caught seafood and savory dishes are nicely complemented by waterfront views and a breeze off the Halifax River. Find a locals-approved spot, sit back, and savor the ambiance of dinner with a breathtaking view.
At Off the Hook at Inlet Harbor, you can enjoy a meal with one of the best sunset views around. Or, for a slightly more upscale setting, try Chart House — both restaurants offer the perfect vibe for a day of relaxation.
By now, you should be feeling vastly recharged and refreshed. After a day spent unwinding and unplugging, you’ll emerge a new person! Get away on a last-minute long weekend and start planning your getaway now.
