[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None.  Zero.  You might find an open restaurant or two, but the weather will be good awful.  Anyone suggesting that you can comfortably strolled along the NJ or DE beaches in late December are off their rocker.  You might have extraordinary luck one afternoon, maybe, but it's highly like the beaches will be freezing cold, windswept and miserable.

Weather is not "similar to the DC area" a long the beach in late December.  That's because there's the giant body of water called the Atlantic Ocean and nothing blocking the wind along it but hitting the beaches.  [/quote]

Um, we’ve spent many New Year’s in Rehoboth and the weather is rarely that miserable. Plenty of people and places open. You can even—gasp—comfortably stroll outside.[/quote]

I've spent more time there than you.  [/quote]

Of course you have. That totally explains why multiple people on this thread have said they go to the DE beaches in December and it’s just fine. Cheers![/quote]

To be fair, many on this travel forum are directly or indirectly invested in these particular beaches; they own a home there, or have friends and/or family whose home they frequent.

Still, the feedback is fairly objective. Even the "it's fine" respondents are recommending winter jackets and staying indoors. And let's face it, "it's fine" in the context of everything - from your cooking, your outfit, sexual performance - is the same as saying "it's not good, but I'm being polite".

I think it’s just different strokes. Some people (I’m one of them) prefer the beach in the off season. Others don’t get that, which totally is fine. But objectively, reports of only “one or two” restaurants being open in December are wrong.[/quote]
