Catch the sun.

UK summers are short but sweet: light that hangs around past 9pm, sea cold enough to make you yelp and then wade back in anyway, long suppers that drift outside and stay there.

The catch is booking it before it slips by.

There’s still time – just – and these are the places we’d spend it. Be quick!
