The extended daylight hours, with sunsets often after 9 PM, provide ample time for outdoor activities like coastal walks, boat trips, and wildlife spotting. This is also when the St Abbs Head National Nature Reserve is at its most active, with thousands of seabirds nesting on the cliffs.For those interested in diving or snorkelling in the clear waters of St Abbs, the summer offers the best visibility and slightly warmer sea temperatures, though a dry suit is still recommended. Many local businesses, including boat tour operators and cafes, are fully operational during these peak months, ensuring you have the best selection of services and experiences.If you prefer fewer crowds and don't mind slightly cooler temperatures, late spring (May) or early autumn (September) can also be excellent.
