August in Hernando Beach is exciting – it’s still scalloping season in Hernando County, and the water is basically 90 degrees in the Gulf and at the flats. The live mermaid show and water park is also open daily.

Weather

If you’re looking for a relaxing beach vacation that’s still close enough to home, Hernando Beach is the place to be in August. It’s hot and sunny every day, so swimming in the ocean is a must! Water temperatures peak at about 90 degrees Fahrenheit, so it’s refreshing without being freezing. And if you’d rather not swim in the ocean, there are plenty of other activities to enjoy—the water park is open daily and so is the live mermaid show!

Scalloping Season is still going strong

Hernando County is also home to one of Florida’s biggest scalloping seasons. If you want to get out on the water yourself, this is your chance!

Weekends at the Flats

The Flats is getting busier (but never “crowded”). Bring your kids and dog, and a floating lily pad, snorkeling gear, a few jet skis, drinks, and sandwiches. It’s a great time to spend an entire afternoon here.
