Summer in Sag Harbor

Sag Harbor holds such a special place in my heart because I’ve been going every summer for awhile now. My aunt and uncle have a house out there and graciously have me every year! It is truly always one of the highlights of my summer so I am beyond grateful for the invitation! Summer in Sag Harbor is such a magical time because the little town comes alive and is bursting with families and people out from New York City. I’ve got the perfect trip down to a science so keep reading to hear how I like to experience summer in Sag Harbor.
