We are going to be in NYC at the U.S. Open over Labor Day and then the following weekend I am meeting my folks in Dallas. But I have a few days lag time between the two trips and I wanted to stop off at a beach somewhere for a couple of days in between. Any suggestions?

I was thinking South Beach or Ft. Lauderdale, but wondered if there was something else possibly that I hadn't thought of or had not been to. Plus, I'll be on my own for those couple of days and South Beach seems sort of like a party place for you and your crew, and I won't have a crew, even though my crew isn't really a party crew truth be told (and thank god for that!). I can go anywhere in the U.S. really, and also considered maybe Jersey or Delaware or somewhere up there, but don't know if it is still warm there in early Sept., though I would assume it is. Give me a couple of ideas since we usually go to Europe for all of our vacations and I'm not up on my beaches. Sure sounds relaxing though, especially for just a few days, otherwise it would be a bit too relaxing.
