Summer is in full swing.

What is happening in New York? People are running from it. In August, when the temperature of the sun is surpassed by the temperature of the subways, the lucky New Yorkers leave town.

With a wonderful selection of nearby beaches and fresh lakes, perhaps it’s your turn to get out of town. The enticement of “free” opera, theatre, and music that costs you the day and all convenience is no match for the beauty of Montauk, Sandy Hook, or Barnegat Light. And if sand and sun aren’t your thing, try the bucolic charm of Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey or Pennsylvania.

For the sun and surf:

Block Island

Fire Island

Long Beach Island

Surf Reports
The problem here is inherent – the site is run by surfers. Are they going to be home typing when the surf is up? Still worthwhile.

Montauk
Gurney’s is booked. So this is handy.

Sandy Hook

For the bucolic:

Bucks County, PA

Hunterdon County, NJ

Litchfield County, Conn.

Dorset, Vermont
