serena & lily's must-have accessory

and a visit to historic crystal cove state beach

Historic Cottage #13 where they filmed the movie "Beaches"

Sunday was the perfect day for a little getaway down to Crystal Cove State Beach. If you’ve never been, it’s a charming little beach, just south of Newport.

It’s actually where the iconic movie “Beaches” starring Bette Midler was filmed, and here we are at the historic Cottage #13 where it all took place. Who can forget the song "Wind Beneath My Wings"?

Historic Cottage #13 and my pretty Serena & Lily Sydney Beach Towel

Summer is just around the corner, and I’ve already got my beach basket all set with my summer beach essentials, so it was just a grab-and-go moment on Sunday as we headed out the door.

My number one item to pack is my new Serena & Lily Sydney Beach Towel. It’s large enough to double as a cozy picnic blanket on the beach, and that’s just what we did!

Sydney Beach Towels make great gifts!

After grabbing a few yummy French panini sandwiches at  my favorite café Moulin and a few bottles of my go-to  Pellegrino water, we were all set for a little beach time.

My favorite is the Navy color with cute green tassels!

I’ve been seeing several of Serena & Lily’s gorgeous towels at the beach already, so I was happy to get mine! Not only are they luxuriously plush, they're absolutely adorable! I just love the little green tassels!

Summer beach basket is also ready for days at the pool

Don’t you think these beach towels would make a lovely gift for a graduate, wedding or wedding shower… or even a summer birthday? I just love mine!
