During the hottest part of the day, the sea may feel briefly refreshing when you enter, but most people adjust within a minute and then swim comfortably.

By late June, the sea can feel very warm, even almost hot. If that’s not your preference, a practical option is to alternate between the beach and a hotel pool.
