May days regularly hit beach weather, and the first sunbeds appear on the sand. The sea passes 20°C late in the month, which some consider swimmable and others consider character-building. It is also, statistically, still one of the wetter months, so pack for the odd downpour between long sunny runs.
Can you swim?
Briskly. Fine once you are in, but it is not July. The sea averages 20.2°C this month; check the live sea temperature for what it is doing today.
What to do in May
Beaches without crowds, boat tours starting up, all the day trips in perfect temperatures.
