Best time to visit

Clear days with good visibility make the most of the cliff-top views, whether in calm summer weather or on cooler days with sharper light. Early morning or late in the day often gives softer light over the sea. In wet or very windy conditions the exposed setting can feel less comfortable, so plan accordingly.
