Why are the beaches that are located on the southern shore of long island often considerably cooler than nearby inland locations on hot summer afternoons?

a see breeze develops due to the higher specific heat of water and the lower specific heat of the land. the reason it's because beaches that are located on the southern shore of long island often are considerably cooler than nearby inland location because a sea breeze develops.during the day,the sand at the beach heats faster than the water because the sand has a lower specific heat than the water...the warm air over the beach expands and becomes less dense.cooler denser air from over the water moves from the water to the land cooling the beach area.the sea breeze does not usually reach the interior areas of long island.as a result people go to the beach on summer afternoons to cool off.
