Pages As Planes: Beach Reads for Vacation
I haven’t shared a Pages As Planes round up in so long! In truth, I felt like I’d exhausted most of the destinations I had read but there’s always time for more beach reads. I am itching for the warm weather to stick around up here in the great north because it’s my favorite reading season. But the magic of books that we can travel wherever we want to go within the pages! So, let’s head to the many different kinds of beaches we all love through these books.
Kismet by Becky Chalsen
Set on Fire Island, off the coast of Long Island.
Summer Stage by Meg Mitchell Moore
Set on Block Island, a teeny tiny island off the coast of Rhode Island.
The Beach Trap by Ali Brady
Set in Destin, FL which is not on my bucket list of travel because the beaches seem extra beautiful!
Island Affair by Priscilla Oliveras
Set in Montauk, the most gorgeous part of the Hamptons, in the 1930’s.
Summer on the Bluffs by Sunny Hostin
Our first beach on a lake! This is set in Barry’s Bay, north of Toronto and much more rural than the Muskoka region of Canada’s lake country.
The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han
The show films in North Carolina, but the books have this set in the Cape Cod region of Massachusetts!
Happy Place by Emily Henry
Ah, New England beaches are just the best and remind me of home. This is set in Maine!
28 Summers by Elin Hilderbrand
Controversially, I love this book and while I don’t read this author a ton anymore, the setting is always the star of the show. A magical tip to Nantucket awaits.
Last Summer at the Golden Hotel by Elyssa Friedland
More lake country, this time in the catskills! Perfect for fans of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes
I am sensing that Maine is a favorite destination for my beach reads…because we have another one.
Same Time Next Summer by Annabel Monaghan
I love this book so much, it feels so summery. Plus, it feels a little bit like home as it’s set on Long Island.
The Romantic Agenda by Claire Kann
And let’s finish off the list with another trip to Montauk that you can read via Kindle Unlmited.
