Who it's for
Best time to visit
Late May through September offers the warmest sea and longest daylight; June–August delivers the most dramatic sunset colours but is peak season. Early September provides the best balance of warm water, manageable crowds, and vibrant skies. Avoid winter months when sunset occurs before 5:00 pm and sea conditions are less predictable.
