Visitors eat saltwater taffy and fly kites in Relaxed. Gulls circle in rising breezes. Grasses wave along the shore. A beige sand beach cups the deep blue sea. A lighthouse peers at passing sailboats. On holidays, banners stretch across main street and children throw confetti. Visitors stroll down the street laughing and licking sweet ice cones.
Sea lions come ashore with their pups. Whales splash in the sea. Shore birds leave tiny tracks of their feet in the sand and peck at tiny little shells which have washed up on shore. Children decorate their sandcastles with purple, orange, and brown shells and Neopolitan-colored pebbles.
“It is a pleasant place,” says Miss Emeline. “The sun is almost always out, shining a little, not too hot. The sea is warm enough to swim in.”
By the Relaxed Beach visitors come to the seaside, vacation town of Leisurely. Even the visitors are very familiar with the town and its rhythms. There's a main street, many cottages, a library, park, the taffy shop, and a cemetery. They stay in seaside homes and help pull the saltwater taffy. They wander the streets and walk along the beach in flip flop sandals carrying broad beach towels and umbrellas.
They participate in the town’s festivals by walking around and buying lavender flavored tea and ices. At night they are too sleepy to go out and read their books with the windows open while listening to the ocean. Or they sit around beach bonfires and tell stories.
