Great time to visit
June delivers classic summer beach weather but brings serious crowds and peak pricing. The ocean's perfect, the sun's intense, and the boardwalk's packed.
Weather
June cranks up the heat and humidity to full summer mode. Expect hot, sticky days with temperatures regularly hitting 29°C and high humidity making it feel even warmer. Daily afternoon thunderstorms become the norm.

All Months
Summer brings the crowds and the highest prices, but also the warmest water and longest days. July temperatures hit the mid-80s with humidity that makes it feel like 95°F. Ocean water peaks around 82°F in August – perfect for swimming, but expect shoulder-to-shoulder beaches on weekends.
Late spring (April-May) and early fall (September-October) offer the sweet spot. Air temperatures stay in the 70s, hotel rates drop by 40%, and you can actually find parking at the beach. The water's still warm enough for swimming through October, though you might need a wetsuit for early morning dips.
Winter sees temperatures in the 50s and 60s – pleasant for walking the beach, but most seasonal attractions close. Many restaurants reduce their hours too. But if you're looking for rock-bottom hotel prices and don't mind bundling up, January and February offer oceanfront rooms for as little as $45 per night.
Avoid Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends unless you enjoy sitting in traffic for two hours to travel five miles.
