The ocean is warm enough for swimming by late May, and the autumn colours begin to emerge in September, offering picturesque scenery. You'll also often find better rates on accommodation and fewer people at popular spots like Lighthouse Beach and the Chatham Fish Pier.Families travelling with children might still prefer late June to August for the warmest ocean temperatures and a wider array of organised summer activities. However, be prepared for busier beaches, more traffic, and higher prices during this peak season.
