Beach holiday in September

Our tips for a beach holiday in September – from Portugal to South Africa

As summer slowly fades, September becomes one of the most rewarding times for a beach holiday. Warm temperatures meet calmer shores, creating the perfect setting for relaxed days by the sea. In Southern Europe – from Portugal and Greece to Mallorca – the water is still inviting, the beaches quieter and the atmosphere more serene. South Africa awakens to spring, with its first rays of sunshine along the coast. For long-haul travellers, the Indian Ocean is a tempting choice: Mauritius and the Seychelles enjoy increasingly stable weather. A September beach escape is ideal for those who seek sun, space and tranquillity – and with Take Memories, it becomes a refined late-summer experience.
