Summer (June–August): Summer is peak tourist season, with mild temperatures, long daylight hours, and the best conditions for outdoor activities. It’s perfect for beach walks, sailing, and wildlife watching, but July and August bring more visitors, leading to higher accommodation prices.

Fall (September–November): Fall offers cooler temperatures, fewer crowds, and stunning autumn colors. It’s a great time for peaceful retreats, nature walks, and birdwatching. September still sees some visitors, but by October and November, prices drop, and the town becomes quieter.

Winter (December–February): Winter in Findhorn is cold and tranquil, with short daylight hours and fewer tourists. It’s a great time for cozy retreats, exploring the local community, and enjoying a peaceful coastal escape. Prices are at their lowest, except during Christmas and New Year’s, when accommodations see a temporary price rise.
