Are you brave enough to walk barefoot along the shoreline in Westport?

Water temperatures in August are the warmest of the year—topping out between 54 and 63 degrees. So you'll definitely need a wetsuit if you're surfing, and if you're playfully splashing water on your partner, you might want to bring an extra set of clothes.

It's August...time to come for the summer vibes.

Don't let summer go by without at least one getaway where you can stand in the tall grass of the dunes, find a treasure on the beach, or just...lounge.

Think you have to be an old pro to go Charter Fishing?

Not true. The best thing about a charter fishing trip out of Westport is that you can be an absolute beginner, and the experts on the boat can walk you through every exciting step.

Salmon season ends September 30th (unless catch quotas are met earlier), so book your charter soon, before summer goes away!
