things to do with kids

In the warm months the coast is a create-your-own-adventure playground for young and old. Come wintertime, we keep it interesting (try a brisk beach walk in January followed by hot cocoa in a local cafe) with winter festivals, theater and entertainment, and family-friendly hotels.

Be sure to search our events listings for more family fun while you are visiting.
