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
