The ocean temperatures are still comfortable enough for swimming and water sports, and the vibrant colours of the changing foliage add to the scenic beauty. This period is particularly good for couples looking for a relaxed yet active holiday, as they can enjoy the natural surroundings without the peak summer rush.Spring also brings agreeable weather, with temperatures similar to autumn, usually between 16°C and 26°C.
