Shopping Might Best Mean Spending a Few Bucks on Some Much Needed R&R

WHILE THIS SECtion of the newspaper typically tells you about the latest styles and shopping excursions, in this issue we wanted to explore a new angle to shopping in the summertime … spending a few bush on your well being, your peace of mind, a little rest and relaxation, if you will.
And when it comes to that, there is one place that immediately comes to mind. And Dirty Water TV was lucky enough to stay there recently during the 2010 Summer Tour in West Dennis on Cape cod. The Lighthouse Inn on West Dennis beach on Cape Cod takes you away from it all. The Lighthouse Inn reminds you of a time gone by … secluded and relaxing, with refreshing ocean breezes to rejuvenate your spirit. This is the real Cape Cod. The way Cape Cod always way. The way it still is.
The moment you enter The Lighthouse Inn we were immediately welcomed by owners Greg Stone and Cyndi Williams. Picturesquely situated along the shore of Nantucket Sound, the Inn provides complete seclusion and relaxation with the convenience of a location that is central to all points of interest on beautiful Cape Cod, particularly the fabulous shopping. Guests enjoy the soothing sounds of the ocean, our broad private beach with its smooth gently sloping sands, and the warm salt water of the Sound.
A true oceanfront Cape Cod Classic spread across nine secluded acres, The Lighthouse Inn offers a wide selection of accommodations in cottages with fireplaces, Cape-style houses with guest rooms, individual suites, and rooms in the Main House. The Lighthouse Inn’s dining room is where the Dirty Water TV crew savored their extensive menu featuring a variety of fresh fish caught in Cape Cod waters. We particularly loved the fresh lobster roll and the fresh baked scrod with Ritz cracker stuffing. And the clam dip to start was fabulous.
And when it comes to activities, there is no shortage of things to do. Whether you enjoy shuffle boarding … the way Dirty Water TV hosts Christian Fauria and Jennifer Manley did. Or you get ski across the sound bouncing along the waves and come back to shore to bounce on the ocean top trampoline. You can also play a few hot sets of tennis and then cool off in the hotel’s heated pool. There are just so many ways to stop, relax, savor and enjoy at The Lighthouse Inn.
Of course there are plenty of things to do at night after you enjoy dinner over looking the robust sea. You can saunter down to the Sandbar to have a few cocktails while enjoying the live entertainment. And then crawl back there the next morning for a hearty breakfast! Or you can head over to The Sand Dollar a little ways down the road for some fantastic cocktails, food and live entertainment. Dirty Water TV just finished taping an entire episode at the Sand Dollar so stay tuned later in July to see that venue come to life on NESN TV.
So ladies and gentlemen … hold off on the shopping just a bit this summer and invest those dollars at The Lighthouse Inn to create a new look for your face … for your psyche … the look of total relaxation and peace of mind. Purchase this at The Lighthouse Inn. Dirty Water TV recently did so and we love the results. Book it today at www. LighthouseInn.com. ■
