Trying to decide between July 4th weekend, mid-July, and Labor Day. We want good weather but not insane crowds.

We do mid-June (right after schools let out). Rates are cheaper, the beach is less packed, and weather is usually mid-70s. Boardwalk has full operations from Memorial Day.

Late September is the sweet spot — water is still warm from summer, the boardwalk is still open, and it's much quieter. If you need July, avoid July 4th weekend (it's insane) and go mid-July. First two weeks of August are also great.

Labor Day weekend is actually great — big crowds on the weekend but drops off fast after. And the Seafood Festival is around that time. Weather is fantastic.
