If you are heading down the shore (along the coast) it tends to be cooler in the summer, more so in the spring when the ocean is still cold, and less so in the fall when the ocean is still warm. |
If it rains, check out some of the local tourist shops, go antiquing, look around for some great arts and crafts, or museums or perhaps you can hit the casinos. If it's sunny and warm, DO EVERYTHING ELSE!
