What October feels like
October out here is beautiful and cheap: the light gets low and long, the beach is empty, and the restaurants down in Ventnor and Margate stop turning people away. The first frost usually catches the mainland by the end of the month while the island stays a little ahead of it.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 65° — brisk but swimmable.
