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.
