City advice

What to pack

Bring a raincoat and a lap blanket.

On the beach, you never know when the wind will pick up and it can be chilly coming off the water, particularly in the evenings. Layers are ideal. A raincoat is also a good idea, just in case there's inclement weather as guests typically spend 95% of their waking hours enjoying the outdoors. A blanket for your lap will help keep the chill off your legs while sitting by the fire pit table.
