Is 70 hot for the beach?
Is 70 hot for the beach? There's no real optimal temperature, but many people feel “comfortable” swimming in water that is 70° to 78° Fahrenheit.
Why does the beach feel so hot?
Sand is a poor conductor of heat so when the Sun warms the sand, the heat is not distributed evenly, making the surface hot. Also the specific heat of sand is lower than that of water so when both are exposed to the same amount of light, the sand at the surface will have a higher change in temperature.
Can you go to beach with 72 degrees?
What's warm enough for you and what's warm enough for me may not be the same thing. But generally people will start going in for a swim when the water temperature warms up to around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. At 75 degrees, most people will venture in and at 80, anyone will swim comfortably.
