The Hecla Village, with its historic buildings and lighthouse, is fully open, offering a glimpse into the island's past. Wildlife viewing, particularly birdwatching, is also excellent in the summer. This is a great time for families looking for an active holiday with plenty of nature to explore.Couples looking for a peaceful escape with opportunities for relaxation might also appreciate the shoulder seasons of late May or early September. The crowds are thinner, and the weather can still be quite pleasant, though some services might have reduced hours.
