| Fun Places to go in NYC |
Whether you’re looking to get away with your partner, friends and family, the mid Atlantic states boast some of the best family beaches on East Coast, plenty of activities and attractions to suit all.
When to go
There is no really a bad time to visit the mid Atlantic region, and when u go depends more on the kind of activities you like doing, and your budget.
Summers in the mid Atlantic region are hot, humid and expensive so, if you’re planning on visiting, for instance, New York City, you’ll find it very uncomfortable and crowded to say the least.
Having said this, summers are a great time to visit the mid Atlantic region, especially beach cities located on the Atlantic coast such as Cape May, Ocean City in Maryland, the city of Atlantic City in New Jersey and Jersey Shore.
Spring and autumn are a good time to visit the region, as airfare, vacation rentals and car hire is less expensive. The weather is also pleasant and much cooler (although a tad unpredictable), so can enjoy outdoor pursuits such as hiking and tours much better.
If you do travel during the spring season, be aware that most of the precipitation happens during this time.
