From Maine's rocky coast to the sandy beaches of the Hamptons, summer activities vary as much as the individuals who flock to the shoreline to escape the rising temperatures. In her book, author Jennifer Ash Rudick highlights thirty of the top summer retreats, including a minimal, Isamu Noguchi–designed home in Northeast Harbor, Maine, and a cozy, decorated house by Sister Parrish in Dark Harbor, Maine. Picture lounging on a comfortable, cushioned rattan chair on the sun porch of a Tom Scheerer-designed Nantucket home, or admiring the view of Long Island Sound through the glass curtain wall of a sleek house on Fishers Island, or feeling cozy in a small cottage in Provincetown. All you have to do is relax, kick off your shoes, and let the sun-kissed pages of Summer to Summer wash over you.
