Rainy days shift the vibe — and soften light for photos.


Route

  • Start: Sharks and jellies (indoors).
  • Mid: Warm beverage break.
  • End: Quick outdoor pass at Sea Cliffs if weather breaks.

Bonus: Reflections often drop on cloudy days — great for photos.


Gear

  • Light raincoat, quick-dry layers, and a lens cloth.
  • Keep spare socks in a zip bag for kids.
  • Small umbrella for boardwalk transitions.

Photo Ideas

  • Silhouettes against big windows
  • Raindrops on glass for texture
  • Blue hour exterior with reflections in puddles
