summer people

Warm-weather arrivals

Summer people are seasonal visitors who vacation in resort or coastal communities during warm months, typically owning second homes there.

The term carries a hint of local resentment—year-round residents distinguish themselves from these outsiders who drive up prices, crowd beaches, and leave before winter: The summer people have started arriving.

Once Labor Day hits, the summer people clear out.
