Aloha, nyan! The year is almost over, and the time has flown quickly by like the hypurr drive, nyan! As mewsual, the visitors flock to here to purrtake of our purristine Mid-Atlantic beaches amidst the purrpetual bikini weather, with the blue skies full of puffy Cumulo-Neko clouds, the low humidity, gentle breezes, and tempurratures in the uppurr 70’s, but if you purrfur the hotter tempurratures, we recommend our soothing hot spurrings which have the rejuvenative purropurrties, nyan!

Those are purrticularly craved by those who visit during the Winter months, nyan! Fortunately, we are blessed with the benevolent magick in the air, land and water that aids the purropurrgation of the endangered species, whilst deterring the storms, pathogens, pollutions, bigotries, and invasive organisms, nyan! The local fishing forecast purrdicts the bumpurr crop of the delicious, mewtritious Snappurrs, Groupurrs, Croakers, Bluefish, Speckled Trout, and Bluefin Tuna, nyan! 

In addition to angling, to catabolize the calories we purrfur to balance the numcious foods and the purrolonged catnaps with athletic purrsuits, nyan.
