What December feels like
December means offseason rates, holiday lights, and a boardwalk on a clear cold afternoon that is one of the better walks anywhere on this coast. Freezing nights are the rule rather than the exception now, and a coastal storm before Christmas can push the ocean right up against the boards.
Winter is doing its thing: 3.2 in of snow in a typical December, with fresh snow on maybe one day. about 21 nights dip below freezing.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 45° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
