Sunny days total an annual average of 215 with weather that is always amazing!

January and February are cold with temperatures averaging in the 50s but occasionally dropping into the teens or 20s for a few days. It does frost for as many as 42 days during an average year.

Visitor seasons

June, July and August are the high season with the largest crowds of visitors including families with children. Hot beach weather is conducive to family beach time, and all entertainment and attractions are open for long hours daily.

Seniors traveling with groups, for reunions, or without small children, prefer September and October for ideal beach weather without the crowds and then November and December for live musical holiday entertainment offered each year in theaters.
