Sunburnt, Salty, and Slightly Bougie: A Cape Cod Memoir

Sunburnt, Salty, and Slightly Bougie: A Cape Cod Memoir

Cape Cod isn’t just a destination—it’s a ritual. A place where time slows, salt lingers in the air, and every moment feels curated yet effortless. From windswept beaches to heritage inns, it’s where elegance meets edge, and where women who know their worth come to recharge, reflect, and revel.

🐚 The Allure of the Cape
There’s a quiet confidence to Cape Cod. It’s not flashy—it’s timeless. Think linen over bikinis, oysters over fast food, and conversations that start with “What are you reading?” instead of “What are you wearing?” But don’t be fooled by the calm—beneath the surface, there’s a pulse. A flirtation. A freedom.

🏖️ Beaches with Soul
From the dramatic dunes of Truro to the serene sands of Wellfleet, Cape Cod’s coastline is poetry. Morning walks feel like meditations. Sunset swims feel like declarations. And every beach towel becomes a front-row seat to nature’s most indulgent show.

🍇You must visit Martha’s Vineyard — it’s like Nantucket’s cooler, artsier cousin who reads poetry on the beach and throws lobster rolls at tourists for fun. But fair warning: despite the name, there are zero actual vineyards. Not one. It’s the ultimate bait-and-switch for wine lovers. We call it Martha's NO Vineyard. Hey, "Sally" don't come here IYKYK because this “Vineyard” is more about salty air than sauvignon blanc. 🍷🚫🌊

Whether you’re solo, coupled, or rolling deep with your inner circle, Cape Cod offers the kind of hospitality that feels personal, not performative.

🧳 What to Pack (and What to Channel)
•     Oversized sunglasses: For mystery and mischief
•     Lightweight layers: Cashmere meets cotton
•     Statement accessories: Mood ring necklace, silk scarf, or a tote that says “I’m not here to blend in”

And of course, a Salty Kiss Club tee—because even upscale escapes deserve a wink of rebellion.
