It's August and it's cold. It can be depressing, we know. But don't let a nip in the air stop you from hitting the beach—especially because we have such gorgeous sandy stretches from Santa Cruz to Bolinas (and that hidden gem Dillon). And if the pretty landscapes don't cheer you up, take into consideration that covering up can be downright stylish and utterly sexy. Stash that tiny string 'kini for a more tropical locale and try one of these wetsuit beauties. That thin layer of neoprene acts as a buffer against wind and heats up water that enters the suit, making the wearer a veritable oasis of warmth. So even though that summer fun may not be in the sun, you won't regret a second of it.
