The first book that comes to mind is Maureen Daly's Seventeenth Summer. I listened to the audiobook version of this a year or so ago, and loved revisiting a gentler time.
I associate Herman Wouk's Marjorie Morningstar with summer, because of the summer camp sections. Another suggestion is Megan Abbott's The End of Everything.
And there's always Jaws! Or Michael Capuzzo's Close to Shore, about the actual shark attacks that may have inspired Jaws.
