7 Ways to Maximize Family Bonding at the Beach
Make the most of vacation time when generations come together at the shore.
The beach offers special ways to celebrate time together, and Cinnamon Shore specializes in helping you start and keep coastal traditions—right here on the Texas Coast!
No. 1 Book for Special Events
Our Signature Events, like Easter weekend, with egg hunts and sunrise service and more family fun, and Beach, Boos & Barbecue, held the last weekend of October, create easy family traditions. Other special weekends, such as Texas SandFest, held in Port Aransas this year April 19-21 and sponsored by Cinnamon Shore, create fun reasons to bring the family down for a beach getaway or meet-up with friends.
No. 2 Commemorate Milestones
Celebrate birthdays or anniversaries with a beach trip that every generation in your family will remember! Gather in the grand kitchen of your beach home rental for cake, book a table at Lisabella's, or go for a sunset golf cart ride to celebrate the day. One family recently marked a proposal at Colby Lake by greeting the happy couple on The Great Lawn with candles to celebrate and take photos!
No. 3 Enhance Holidays
From Mother’s Day Weekend to Thanksgiving week, holidays tinged with salt air and punctuated by beach walks cement memories in everyone’s minds. Holidays at the coast come with their own sights and sounds, providing a truly memorable way to change up the typical holiday scenario for a fresh way to spend time together.
No. 4 Keep Simple Traditions
Have a family sandcastle-building contest, write your family name and the year in the sand for a photo on your annual trip, or bring a puzzle everyone works on during your stay. Bring materials for kids to make a coastal craft each time you visit.
No. 5 Explore the Landscape
From crab-hunting with flashlights after sunset to collecting shells, focusing on nature’s wonders creates memorable moments. Discovering what washed up on the shoreline and bringing home a sand dollar become touchstones for kids and part of the beach lore in your family.
No. 6 Share a Special Seaside Meal
Homes at Cinnamon Shore have impressive kitchens where you can create seafood feasts or grill out on a balcony for a fun coastal cookout. Plus, our on-site restaurants offer options from pizza and pasta at Dylan's to reservation-required event for your group at Lisabella's. The new Shore Cafe offers a premium wine selection for bottles you can enjoy at your vacation home along with made-to-order charcuterie platters--perfect for sunset hour.
No. 7 Book a Beach Bonfire
The crackling wood and a circle of lounge chairs at the water's edge are all you need to create a lasting memory. Book your bonfire in our Reservation Add-on page after you book your vacation!
