What to pack

What July feels like

By July the gray mostly clears by mid-morning and the coast trades it for crowds. The Fourth pushes everyone onto the sand at once; a Wednesday is a much better plan than a Saturday.

Rain is genuinely rare — most years, July stays dry start to finish.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 68° — brisk but swimmable.
