While families often gravitate towards the peak summer holidays for their beach getaways, aligning with school breaks, couples and solo travellers might find the shoulder seasons equally appealing for a more serene experience.

For those seeking a slightly more tranquil escape with excellent weather, late November offers a fantastic alternative.
