Best time
Summer months offer the safest swimming conditions when the Atlantic calms down. Visit early in the morning before the midday sun becomes intense, as there is no natural shade along the shore. Winter brings powerful swells that make the water dangerous for swimming but dramatic for watching waves crash. Weekdays are best since even weekends see minimal traffic here.
