There are quite a few family oriented activities on the island including waterparks and museums. Of course, the weather can play a big part in deciding what to do. During foul weather, you can try the museums. Keep in mind that when people can't get to the beach, they drive. Add that to the fact that many parts of the Boulevard flood during heavy rain and high tide, it can take quite a while to get anywhere. Ship Bottom can be particularly congested during rainy weather. |
