Entertaining By The Sea

From casual lunches under a pergola adorned with mason jars of fresh herbs to vintage boat picnics, cocktails on a marshside deck, and dessert parties in breezy open-air garages, this book is a celebration of effortless summer entertaining. Curated by designer Tricia Foley, it features inspiring gatherings hosted by creative friends and tastemakers, each offering their own artful—and often delightfully bohemian—approach to warm-weather hospitality.

Beautifully photographed and rich with thoughtful details, these beachside get-togethers showcase everything from garden rose arrangements and relaxed table settings blending heirlooms with modern pieces to easy bar setups and curated seasonal menus. Alongside the visual inspiration are go-to recipes for fresh summer fare—think lobster-salad lettuce wraps and salmon grilled with lemon slices—making this a go-to guide for hosting with style and ease all season long.
