Q:
My son will be 6 months old in July, and we were considering taking a short trip down to Suffolk for a couple days. Would it be safe to take him along the boardwalks? He would be riding in his baby carrier on my back, and he would have his sun hat, sunscreen, and bug spray.
A:
I don’t see why not! The boardwalks are well maintained. July is hot, so maybe plan on a morning stroll and definitely bring the bug spray.
Q:
Are you open on Memorial Day?
A:
I am almost certain they are.
