Water changes temperature much more slowly than air does. The land gets warmer as it absorbs heat from the sun, but the water is slower to absorb the heat, so it stays cooler than the land.
However at night, the water retains more heat than the land, so that it will often be warmer than the surrounding air, at least for a while.
