What to pack

What April feels like

April is one of the drier months here and the calendar starts filling: the golf, the outlets, and the boardwalk are all fully awake while the big summer festivals are still weeks away. Anyone actually in the water is either a kid or wearing neoprene.

Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 67° — brisk but swimmable.
