Summertime with Rustic Marlin and Cape Cod’r

Summer is New England is a special time – beach days, boat days, lake days, pool days…we love them all. One of our favorite things to do during the summer is pack up for a later afternoon / evening trip to the beach, and we always bring some of our favorite items from our friends at Rustic Marlin and Cape Cod’r. We have quite a few Rustic Marlin pieces around our home and have given a few more as gifts – the quality of each piece is so beautiful and the option to personalize things like serving trays and signs for special occasions or locations is one of my favorite things about the brand Melanie and Brian have built. If you’re local to the South Shore, the Rustic Marlin market in Hanover is so convenient! And what better drink to hold in your Rustic Marlin koozie than the most classic New England summer beverage. The guys at Cape Cod’r have really bottled….or canned…the feeling of summer on the Cape in a drink. From a traditional vodka-cranberry flavor to my personal pick, the Mermaid’s Tale, any one of the Cod’r drinks is a beach day cooler essential.

Now that the big boys are a little bit older, they love playing “grown up games” and they already have a deep love for corn hole. This Rustic Marlin lobster stripe corn hole set is so beautifully made and I love the classic nautical design – a fun activity and cute backyard decor in one! For those of us who are more of a backyard / beach sport supporter, the Cod’r beach chair is a perfect place to sit back, be the resident scorekeeper, and sip a delicious Classic Cape Cod’r beverage.

After an afternoon of fun, there’s nothing better than beach pizza to go with your Cod’r. Packing sweatshirts for the kiddos and a cute serving tray to keep the sand away from our dinner is the perfect end to a New England beach day.
