What to pack

What September feels like

The Neptune Festival takes over the Boardwalk at the end of September, sand sculpture championship and all, and it is worth the trip on its own. The water is still summer-warm, the families have gone home, and hotel rates come back to earth.

Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. There’s a little humidity in the air, but nothing that changes your plans.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 75° — comfortable for swimming.
