Daytime temperatures in December and January sit around 12 to 14\u00b0C (54 to 57\u00b0F). Some beach clubs and seasonal restaurants close, and the coast is quieter than at any other point of the year.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What winter trades against is atmosphere and access.
