Spreading love in a sweet bite, at the seaside.
Visit Marina’s tiny workshop/café in Carrapateira when you pass by. (The perfect antidote to anger and hate - both village and Marina’s treats!)

Is it really almost over? 2025 hasn’t been the easiest or smoothest year for us. It’s been a year of reminders that life’s full of surprises, changes, adapting. We lost loved ones, and are learning to live without them.

But also a year of beginnings! Events and festivities. And so much support and love. We’re reflecting on what’s passed and looking to what’s ahead, with gratitude, faith, and delightfully sore arms from the many waves surfed in between.

Wishing all and everyone a blissful new year 💫and a special shoutout to those who stood by us ♥️♥️♥️

I accidentally reset my phone’s screensaver to shuffle mode recently. It’s the best setting ever and a reminder that seemingly random moments are actually bliss in disguise. Therefore, in the spirit of December list-making season, here are 12 lucky phone shots, for every month of the year — listed in no particular order. It’s no surprise they’re mostly ocean-overloaded images 🙃
