What to pack

What July feels like

July is the month the town is built for, which means the Route 50 bridge backs up on Saturday mornings and the beach patrol whistles never stop. The greenhead flies come out on the bayside mid-month; the ocean side is fine, which is where everyone is anyway.

Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. about 6 afternoons top 90°.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 72° — comfortable for swimming.
