A Beach Day and a Trip Back in Time
To beat the sweltering heat last week, our roving photographer, Nicole Freezer Rubens, spent the day in Atlantic Beach. She writes:
This small village covered in retro private beach clubs, is an ode to another time and always reminds me of the movie The Flamingo Kid.
The shoreline was first developed in 1923 and homes, beach clubs and a boardwalk began to pop up. Its proximity to New York City has always been a big draw, long before the Hamptons were and much of the look and feel of this barrier island has not really changed.
I was at Clearwater Beach Club surrounded by families who have been coming for generations. Although like many of the clubs it has been renovated following repeated storms, it still looks and feels the same as it did when I went as a kid. Dipping in the salty Atlantic Ocean and jumping the waves felt therapeutic and brought a much-needed relief to the summer heat. I left renewed, sun kissed and with a lot of sand at the bottom of my beach bag.

The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
