• Go early to beat the heat (yes, heat still matters), get better parking, and photo ops without the crowds.
• Dress smart — light layers, closed shoes, sun protection.
• Pack essentials — sunscreen, water, insect repellent, camera or phone.
• Combine with coastal fun — make a day of it: pumpkin patch + beach or aquarium + local eats.
