A 31st Birthday Beach Picnic at Lifeguard Tower 28
July 2023 · 20 guests · Lifeguard Tower 28, Ocean Park, Santa Monica
A friend of past clients booked this July 2023 birthday picnic after a referral. It was a three-hour Sunday afternoon at Lifeguard Tower 28, from 2 to 5 p.m., for about 20 people celebrating a 31st birthday.
A few details made it personal. The host asked for charcuterie boards without tree nuts, so we adjusted the chef's-choice spread. He also asked for as much shade as possible, so the group had umbrellas over the low tables. The friends were big on instant photos, so extra Polaroid film was on hand.
We set up cornhole on the sand, and the extra hour gave the afternoon room to breathe. It was a relaxed birthday by the water, with the group lounging on pillows and taking a lot of photos.
