Beaches like Roker and Seaburn, as well as popular parks, will see more visitors on sunny days, particularly weekends, but generally remain less crowded than during the peak July and August school holidays. Conditions are pleasant for outdoor activities, though coastal breezes can make it feel cooler, so layering is advisable.
