What to pack, what to skip
- Sunglasses, a brimmed hat and SPF 30+
- Layers - the daily swing is 62°F, so mornings feel nothing like afternoons
- Avoid exposed ridgelines, small boats and rooftop viewpoints while gusts stay above 35 mph.
- If your dates are flexible, avoid January, February and December - historically the least comfortable months here.
