What to pack

What August feels like

August is when people here start checking the tropics the way other cities check traffic. It is also the cheapest the oceanfront gets, and a weekday beach in August is close to empty.

This is the wet season: rain on about 13 days, so pack accordingly. Full tropical humidity: mornings are your friend, and shade is currency. Most afternoons push past 90°.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 89° — bath-warm.
