The summers on the east coast of Florida can be warm with average temperatures reaching 90 from May through September. However, it's not the heat that makes the summers uncomfortable.

Even during the winters, the high temperatures in this area of Florida rarely reach over 70 and see much less rain. The lows stay in the 50s which makes for beautiful, cool nights to explore the beachfront and enjoy some of the many restaurants around town.
