Families, Friends Soak Up the Summer Sun

The beaches attract folks from destinations, both near and far. Whether it's a neighbor or a stranger, there is room for everyone on Pass-A-Grille's little slice of paradise.

Friday the 13th can be viewed as a somewhat spooky day, but beach lovers were not concerned. Families, groups of friends and couples flooded Pass-A-Grille Beach with positive energy and unending smiles.

White, powdery sand could be felt, melting between the toes and the salty air combined with the heat from the sun made for an exhilarating experience. Paddleboarding and skimboarding were some of the more popular activities, while sunbathing and shell hunting were also eventful.

Local vendors set up shop near the snack shack, with goods ranging from tie-dyed apparel to swarovski crystals. The vendors are on site every Friday, Saturday and Sunday for your shopping pleasure.

Fortunately, we were on hand to capture all of the fun, on camera. And if you’ve never visited Pass-A-Grille Beach, we are sure that this photo gallery will make you want to change that.
