All the local attractions and amenities will be fully operational, offering plenty of options for entertainment and dining.

For those who prefer a slightly quieter experience without sacrificing pleasant weather, May is a fantastic alternative. Temperatures are milder, typically around 12°C to 15°C, which is still comfortable for walks along the beach and exploring the charming village. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed atmosphere and often better value on accommodation.
