The Wauwinet's bay side beach was the venue for a most magical end of summer lobster bake; with chic styling and a casual sensibility that was perfectly suited to a multi-generational family party. Nantucket Insider shares a few tips on summer entertaining at its best.
A classic red checked table runner is perfect for a beachside dinner party. The long table has ample room for everyone to sit together and enjoy family style salads.
Nods to Nantucket and nautical style add some fun flair to the table with lush hydrangeas in rope coiled vessels and starfish whimsically placed in each centerpiece.
