Each year the man in red arrives at the marina... escorted by the US Coast Guard. They tie up on float 6 and Mr & Mrs Claus (and an elf or two) greet the waiting families with christmas music by the Ocosta High School Band in the background.
Then the Westport Fire Department transports the entourage to the Maritime Museum where boys and girls get the opportunity to let Santa know whats on their list. The Rusty Scupper Pirates provide refreshments and entertainment in McCausland Hall.
Great opportunity for pictures from start to finish...
December is a wonderful month to be at the beach. Next year why not make it a new tradition to spend the first week end of december at the coast? Check out vacation rental options

The rumble of the pounding surf is intense and it has been written that the molecular composition of the air around the massive pounding walls of seawater is altered making it "hyper-oxygenated" providing a perceivable health benefit to those fortunate enough to breathe it!
If that isn't enough of a reason to head to the coast and get your feet in the sand (and your lungs in the sea air) consider the reduced price of "off season" lodging... the fresh seafood available and the unique shops where that perfect little Christmas gift can be found as reason enough to get in the car for the short drive to the closest ocean beach to you... Westport.
