All Months
June through September brings warm water, full restaurant hours, and peak prices. July and August see air temps in the 80s, water temps around 75°F, but also the biggest crowds. The Sunfest arts festival in September offers perfect weather with fewer families—hotel rates drop 30% after Labor Day. October surprises many visitors. The water stays swimmable through early October, restaurants remain open, and room rates fall to $70-90 per night. The White Marlin Open in August brings serious fishing crowds and higher prices, while Springfest in May kicks off the season with live music and $2 draft specials. Winter sees most businesses close, but a few restaurants stay open and hotel rates drop to $45 per night. The beaches become yours alone, perfect for storm watching and peaceful walks.
