Rob and I recently took a 4-day vacation at his parent's beach house at LBI and can I tell you how nice it was being down there in September rather than during the summer....I will!
- The weather is just as nice or even better than during the summer. Even though Tropical Storm Hanna was coming up the coast, we had 3 hot and sunny days.
- The masses of teenagers and college students disappear since school is back in session.
- The stores and restaurants are still open for another month and you can actually get a table in less than an hour!
- You don't have to share the bike lane with like every third person in town.
- The bay is quiet & calm so if you like to kayak or go boating, it's like you have a private body of water at your disposal.
- In early Sept., people still go on vacation so it's not a complete ghost town.
- End of Summer Sales!!!
- Beaches are quieter and cleaner.
- The parkway and turnpike are slightly easier to travel/less rubbernecking.
- I don't know about other shore towns, but the speed limit on Long Beach Blvd goes UP!
