For most visitors, the best time to go to De Cocksdorp is during the late spring and summer months, specifically from May to September.
This period offers the most pleasant weather for exploring the island, with mild to warm temperatures averaging between 15°C and 22°C (59°F and 72°F). The days are longer, providing ample daylight for outdoor activities, and the chances of rain are generally lower.
Couples seeking a relaxing beach holiday will find July and August ideal, as the North Sea waters are at their warmest for swimming and sunbathing on the expansive sandy beaches like those near Paal 28. The long evenings are superb for enjoying dinners at local restaurants or taking strolls along the coast.
Families traveling with children will also appreciate the summer months. The island's many attractions, such as Ecomare and the lighthouse, are fully operational, and there are numerous family-friendly activities available, from cycling through the dunes to flying kites on the beach. The longer daylight hours allow for extended outdoor play.
If you prefer a quieter experience with fewer crowds but still good weather for cycling and walking, late spring (May and early June) or early autumn (September) are excellent alternatives.
