What to pack

What November feels like

November is the quiet month here — off-season rates, open tables, and a beach you can walk for a mile without meeting anyone. The first storm usually lands before Thanksgiving, and the whole county exhales about fire season.

Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 61° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
