August is NJ peak warmth. Water hits 75Β°F+. Sand burns bare feet. Locals start counting down to fall. Last chance for full peak-season beach experience.

Tested August at Cape May (warmest water), LBI (last week of family rentals), Belmar (heat-wave Saturdays). August is sunscreen + shade discipline territory.
