#66 – Have a Sunset Picnic at West Meadow Beach

Even as summer winds down, you can still catch breaktaking sunsets at West Meadow Beach. When the temperature cools a little as the sun goes down, it's a perfect setting for a sunset picnic at the beach.

Step 1: Find out what time sunset will take place by checking Patch's weekly tidal chart or visiting sunrisesunset.com. Keep in mind the park closes at dusk.

Step 2: Grab a blanket or beach chairs, and pick up your dinner of choice.

Step 3: Head down to the beach, where you'll likely have little to no trouble finding a parking spot that late in the day.

Step 4: Settle in and dig in to your meal while appreciating the sunset view. Watch out for the seagulls, though. They'll stare you down and wait for a chance to steal your meal, but it's not a good idea to feed the wildlife.

Don't forget to dispose of your trash properly when you're done with dinner!
